Protesting Liquor Licenses in Your Community

Liquor license renewal season is almost here – is your community ready? Liquor licenses can breathe new vitality into a community by increasing commercial activity, but they can also encourage drug activity, excessive violence and noise; impact parking availability; and drain police resources if they are not managed responsibly. Your community can take control of this situation. The Community Law Center is hosting this workshop designed to teach community leaders and volunteer attorneys those relevant liquor laws, tools needed to negotiate with a liquor licensee, and how to protest a liquor license renewal.
