GFA LAW Statement: On the Conduct of Supporters

GFA LAW, PLLC is aware that individuals who support our clients and their causes have, in some instances, directed threatening, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate conduct toward city employees, law enforcement officers, and other individuals connected to our ongoing litigation. We are issuing this statement to be unambiguous: GFA LAW does not support, endorse, or condone any of it.

We want to be clear about what we mean. If you are threatening someone's job, their family, their safety, or their peace of mind — stop. If you are flooding someone's personal phone or email with harassment — stop. If you are showing up at someone's home or workplace to intimidate them — stop. None of that is advocacy. None of that is justice. And none of it helps our clients.

The legal battle in Trinidad, Texas is a battle about accountability, about the rule of law, and about the rights of the people we represent. That battle is won in courtrooms, through evidence, and through the legal process. It is not won by making individual employees fear for their livelihoods or their safety. Many of the people who work for these institutions are not the decision-makers whose conduct is at issue. They are working people doing their jobs. They are not our targets, and they should not be yours.

GFA LAW actively rejects the use of harassment, intimidation, or extralegal pressure as tools in service of our clients' causes. Anyone engaging in this conduct is not acting on our behalf, is not helping our clients, and is potentially harming the very cases they claim to support.

If you believe in what our clients are fighting for, the best thing you can do is stay focused on the city's conduct — not on complicating these matters by introducing behavior that undermines the legitimacy of their claims. Support our clients. Follow the proceedings. Share the facts. Let the law do what it is designed to do.
