W/REST is a new approach. Building on the cooperative model, W/REST combines a community cooperative with a collective law firm: the Rest Cooperative and the Wrest Collective. The Rest Cooperative brings minoritized and other left-out groups together with community wealth. The Wrest Collective gathers talented, movement-oriented lawyers to support the cooperative and broader community with legal representation, training, counsel, and other support. In collaboration together, we can reimagine how clients, community, and lawyers make change and create justice. Cooperative membership means: • A voice in the cases that we take and the work that we do • Access to trainings, workshops, clinics, and office hours for legal consultations • Peer support opportunities for clients—past, present, and future • Connection to a network of organizers and activists in Boise • Potential returns on the cost of your membership as W/REST gathers steam What do we work on? Cooperative members and community movements drive W/REST’s priorities. Our lawyers’ skills include: • Abolitionist criminal and immigration representation • Renter rights and organizing • Civil rights enforcement • Accountability for discrimination at work, school, and marketplace
