Here’s an idea, an (A)-ist mutual find for the defence of civial rights and civil disobedience of its members and petitioners …
Defence Fund
- There is a formal board structure, with named directors and an AGM and everything. There are rules of procedure (probably adopted from the NSW Dept of Commerce Standard rules). Because we’re talking about $, everything should be above reproach (and it will be reproaced).
- Money is collected from members. This is recorded, and if possible, 90% refundable on demand.
- Not affiliated with any group, not a feeder organisation or a front. Open to any and all to subscribe.
- Members and others can apply for funds to aid their defences, pay bails or fines.
I wonder if it’d be illegal to do this, as it is, or would it need to be really covert and shady? I bet the govt wouldn’t like it at all. Is it similar to a professional bailor? An anarchist bailor? Interesting.
