Calendar

What started out as a one-woman operation with the help of volunteers, has become a national organization with 8 staff, 9-person board, 21-person advisory board, and 10 law clerks and 3 undergrad interns each year. We look forward to sharing many of those stories with you this commemorative year — and hope you will share your CLDC story with us as well! The next 20 years will be even more challenging — for the planet and for activists facing unprecedented state repression and violence. We hope CLDC will be there to have your back as we defend what we love together.

Please join us in marking this year with food, drink, music, and fun at our anniversary party on June 17, 2023 at Dorris Ranch in Springfield, Oregon. The party will begin at 5:00pm!

RSVP online by purchasing a ticket through our donation page here, or by calling our office at (541) 687-9180. Tickets are $30 – $100, sliding scale, and include food and a beverage of your choice. Please write “20th Ticket” in the notes section.

See you soon!
