Damon

Damon Terrell is an intern at the Law Center. "I like teaching. I enjoy listening to others describe their passions, and games of strategy and skill. My legal interests include (non-profit and cooperative) Business law, Constitutional law, and legal approaches to securing freedom and sovereignty for the people I love; often those deemed most expendable in our society. I am interested in supporting my community. I am not interested in entertaining myths about justified violence or our society’s inexorable progress toward accepting my right to breathe. I can not breathe."

We will have an ASL interpreter working at this event.
