Background

Scope and content:

“CLMP is a small non-profit organization, located in southern Humboldt County, relying on community support to continue our efforts. CLMP monitors, documents, advocates for & educates about civil liberties issues in Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties. Our goal is to encourage public awareness of constitutional rights and encouraging involvement of the whole community in preserving and protecting them.” (Bonnie Blackberry, 2021).

Biographical / historical:

CLMP existed from 1983 to 2023 when it gave up its nonprofit organizational status. CLMP’s legal actions led to a limiting of CAMP’s powers and also established (in 1986) the court appointed monitor to oversee CAMP activities. Other activities impacted Humboldt County’s Code Enforcement powers and CHP’s pretext stopping of motorists and nonconsensual searches.

Acquisition information:
In 2018 the audiotapes were transferred to HAPA. In 2019 the boxes of CLMP files and the one box of Mark Drake files were brought to HAPA’s office. In 2021 Bonnie Blackberry signed HAPA’s Deed of Gift form donating all the materials to HAPA.
