Request a Training! To request Know Your Rights trainings on interactions with law enforcement or the rights of demonstrators (or to suggest another topic!), please contact pittsburgh@nlg.org at least fourteen (14) days in advance. We ask that the requesting individual/organization provide the space, facilitation, and other logistics for the training, if at all possible.
