Fund Community Defence

Funding Justice, Not Institutions

Al-Adli is fuelled by people, not profit. We’re a grassroots collective - not a charity and definitely not the state. We don’t take money from institutions that profit from oppression. We rely on community support to keep our work independent, accountable, and radical.

We offer free legal education, support and advocacy to people facing violent systems: from protest policing and criminalisation to family court removals, housing injustice, and state surveillance. That work takes time, labour, care, and money. 

We’re asking you to resource the resistance.

Where Your Money Goes

Every pound you give helps us:

• Support people facing charges or family court intervention

• Run workshops on legal rights and anti-state resistance

• Write accessible legal guides, toolkits, and materials

• Cover court fees, printing, phone credit, and emergency access needs
  
  

We don’t hoard cash, pay salaries, or build bureaucracy. We fund meaningful action, urgent support, and long-haul organising.

Who We Don’t Take Money From

• Top-down political parties

• Policing or surveillance bodies

• Arms manufacturers or military-linked foundations

• Organisations complicit in genocide, apartheid, displacement, or incarceration

• Any funders that try to water us down, co-opt our politics, or make us "respectable"
  
  

If your funding comes with strings attached - keep it. We answer to our people, not to institutions.

How to Donate

We use OpenCollective for full transparency.

Fund Us Like You Mean It

We’re not asking for pity. We’re asking for solidarity.
This isn’t about giving to the poor. It’s about sustaining an abolitionist legal collective that’s doing the work.

If you believe in a world without cages, without family separation, without state violence - then help us build it.
