National
Lawyers' Guild The National Lawyers Guild is an association dedicated
to the need for basic change in the structure of our political and economic
system. The Guild unites lawyers, law students, and legal workers as an
effective political and social force in the service of the people. Our
aims: to eliminate racism; to safeguard and strengthen the rights of workers,
women, farmers and minority groups, upon whom the welfare of the entire
nation depends; to maintain and protect our civil rights and liberties
in the face of persistent attacks upon them; to use the law as an instrument
for the protection of the people, rather than for their repression.

Victims' Families
for Reconciliation
After a murder, victims' families face two things: a death and a crime.
At these times, families need help to cope with their grief and loss,
and support to heal their hearts and rebuild their lives. From experience,
we know that revenge is not the answer. The answer lies in reducing violence,
not causing more death. The answer lies in supporting those who grieve
for their lost loved ones, not creating more grieving families. It is
time we break the cycle of violence. To those who say society must take
a life for a life, we say: "not in our name."
