Legally Green

Networks of lawyers and law enthusiasts who support activists across Europe.

In recent years we have been facing ever deepening interconnected crises – growing inequality, persisting discrimination, rise of armed conflicts, climate breakdown, forced migration and the cost of living crisis. In response, people are taking to the streets to call out the false solutions, hypocrisy and lack of action by the European authorities and elites, and to demand accountability from those in power.

Since autumn of 2022, the Movement Hub coordinates Legally Green – an informal network of lawyers who support activists across Europe and activist-led legal support groups. The network has over 100 members from over 60 organizations in more than 20 countries in Europe.

The network operates via mailing list and meets bi-monthly to share experience, discuss cases, trends, get help, learn from each other to increase our collective capacities to resist legal repressions.

Contact [email protected]  if you have any questions or wish to join the network.

We also offer the opportunity to stay informed by subscribing to a Newsletter. It’s a monthly summary of ongoing court cases, legal developments, solidarity call  outs and crowdfunding initiatives related to the repression of climate and social justice activists across Europe.
