Report: How legal empowerment efforts are fighting repression and deepening democracy

Grassroots justice workers around the world face conditions of rising authoritarianism and closing civic spaces. In response to human rights abusers using strikingly similar tactics (the “playbook of repression”), this report outlines a “playbook of justice,” compiling effective strategies that grassroots justice workers are using to respond. Drawing on roundtable discussions with Network members and insights from across the field, this report demonstrates that the work of grassroots justice workers is essential, not only to counter repression, but to advance a deeper version of democracy, where communities have the power to shape the decisions that affect their lives.
