Join us on July 7 to discuss what we need to think about and understand to face the current administration’s executive orders and policies. In addition to the normal activities such as contacting legislators, letters to the editor, street theatre and protests, what else is possible? In order to resist, what sort of tactics and activities might be considered, and what might be the legal consequences of such actions? We will hear from two lawyers involved with the National Lawyers Guild who are currently based in Wisconsin.

ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS: 
Patricia Hammel, also knows as “PK,” has been practicing law in Wisconsin since 1981 and is currently in private practice in Antigo Wisconsin. Originally from Nebraska, she previously worked in a law collective and private practice in Madison and at a legal aid firm based in Wausau. She has represented people who received citations for protesting in the Capitol, Black Lives Matter and anti-Trump protests, and assisted with representing people arrested on Enbridge Line 3 in Wisconsin and with the Water Protector Legal Collective in North Dakota. A longtime member of the National Lawyers’ Guild, PK was one of the attorneys representing the landowners who tried to enforce pollution insurance requirements against Enbridge for the Line 61 expansion in Dane County from 2016-2019 when we won in the Court of Appeals but lost in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She is working with the Line 5 coalition to stop Enbridge’s reroute around the Bad River reservation.

Lemuel Anderson’s identity, and fight is rooted in his people’s struggle and solidarity with the working class and solidarity with people who fight for human rights, and the rights of all beings. The concept of seven generations from Turtle Island informs his scholarship, his life, his work, and his love, and joy about life both now and after. His traditions, both from the black, and European parts of his heritage, acknowledge and respect the seven generations concept, which is why he is an environmentalist. He is the co-chair of the Dane County Green Party, and fights authoritarianism from this concept. Lemuel is also a public defender and his work is published in poetry, political science, environmental history, immigration law, international law, indigenous law and on climate refugees.
