Legal Self Defense--485-3222

Legal Self-Defense – 485-3222

A telephone number is now in operation on a 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-per-week basis for anyone who is arrested or just having legal hassles. This number is located at S.O.S. in Ypsilanti, (see previous article) but will serve the Ann Arbor area. The number is 485-3222. People at this number will have basic legal knowledge of what procedures you should follow when you are arrested. They will also contact your friends, a lawyer, a bondsman, or anyone else who should know of your arrest. If you have legal hassles that these people don't know how to deal with, they will put you in contact with someone who can help you.

This service is part of a program to organize Legal Defense in this area. Anyone who is interested in helping to organize the various aspects of Legal Defense should call 482-5942 and ask for Don.

A leaflet is being put together to publicize the People's Defense Committee and should be out soon. There will also be attempts to raise bail money through benefits, bucket drives, etc... made soon. Any time or energy that you could contribute to any Legal Defense projects would be appreciated. IF YOU ARE ARRESTED, CALL 485-3222.
