CHD-CA is not a law firm and cannot offer individual legal advice. However, we recognize that resisting tyranny requires each of us to become better informed about the law,
our legal rights, and how to use the law to respond to the illegal policies that are quickly spreading among our schools and places of employment. Below are some resources
to help educate both ourselves and those imposing these policies upon us.
