"Join us on Wednesday, August 5th at 5:30 for our next Cactus Book Club. Milwaukee National Lawyers Guild will lead an evening of discussion of journalist and guild member Kris Hermes’ book, Crashing the Party: Legacies and Lessons from the RNC 2000. In examining the policing methods developed by former Philadelphia Police Commissioner John Timoney to repress dissent, methods which have been extensively used across the U.S. ever since, we hope to encourage people to learn about the 'radical, innovative, and confrontational forms of legal support carried out by R2K Legal,' a defendant-led collective that acted in true solidarity in the streets, the jails, the courtrooms, and in the media to support one another and their community."
