Name and nicks	Stanley Cohen
Sponsor	PP-NO
member of Pirate Party	-
qualifications	Lawyer
language(s)	English
motivation and political background	The New York times profiled lawyer Stanley L. Cohen is long-time social justice attorney and activist. For ten years he has been subjected to aggressive investigation and harassment by various agencies of the United States federal government, ultimately leading to criminal indictments being filed against him in two jurisdictions, relating to income tax matters. Stanley Cohen has a long history of standing with and for the disadvantaged and the disaffected. After coming of age as a social worker and an organizer in the anti-war and economic justice movements, he became a lawyer in 1983 and spent seven years as a public defender with the Legal Aid Society in the Bronx. Later, in private practice he continued to advocate for and represent many people the government would like to silence or put in jail: Palestinian freedom fighters, Muslim preachers, North American natives living on Indian reservations, marijuana dealers, anti-war protestors, radical squatters, the homeless, “hacktivist” information activists, members of national liberation movements, anarchists, and anti-Zionists among many others. Stanley Cohen is honored to be nominated to the board of Pirate Parties International and the nominating party, PPNO, feels that his set of skills and knowledge of very central pirate causes will be a great addition to any board. He is published frequently speaking truth to power. You can find some of his writings in Al Jazeera and Counter Punch Here is a recent portrait article of Mr. Up the Rebels himself in The New York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/21/nyregion/stanley-cohen-lawyer-terrorists.html
