Because of the email from UC Berkeley, I compiled a list of resources for anyone else in a similar situation.

Here are some resources that can help you learn and protect your rights.The list is particularly useful for animal advocates, environmental activists, and other activists, both online and off:

• National Lawyers Guild Green Scare Hotline – a toll-free hotline for environmental and animal rights activists:
  1-888-NLG-ECOL (1-888-654-3265)
• The Electronic Frontier Foundation – a civil liberties group defending your rights in the digital world:

• The American Civil Liberties Union - defending and preserving the individual rights and liberties that the Constitution and laws of the United States guarantee everyone in the US:
