This exciting interview with Heather Gass dives into legal actions that can be performed in local communities by non-lawyers - like CFFS members - to have very tangible outcomes. Things like: 

  • How to make a records  or FOIA request for information
  • How to create an affidavit
  • How to make an ethics complaint or file a bar grievance
  • How to file a judicial grievance
  • How to create and file a criminal complaint

Any ordinary citizen has more legal ability than they ever imagined. We take an high-level overview of why we need these legal tools to hold civic leaders accountable for their actions.
