Many of the chapters also have arrest hotlines that can be used without calling in advance. To check for an arrest hotline number in your city/area go to https://www.nlg.org/massdefensecommittee/. It is good to have this number with you at the march just in case. if you don't find an arrest hotline number for your area please email massdef@nlg.org.
