The Earth Religions Assistance List (ERAL):

• Assists people with legal problems practicing their religions and their attorneys through research, referrals, information, participating attorneys, and other organizations
• Helps develop and implement strategies, programs and resources to facilitate communication and cooperation between other groups

A spin off of such discussions is the Sacred Earth Alliance (SEA). thru which ERAL and SEA members make available:

• A Combined Directory of Public Earth Religion Rights Contacts
• Topic Specific Web Pages for Finding Help
• A Summary of Other Earth Religion Rights Organizations

The Rules of ERAL:

• Minimize chat (keeping the weekly average message volume less than 10 posts per day) - thus enabling busy attorneys, leaders, etc. to subscribe
• Keep discussions courteous and on-topic
• Keep sensitive details on specific current legal cases from leaving the list (except when released by participating attorneys)
• Provide appropriate rules and loopholes so that other information can be released-while protecting confidentiality

Members may also join a list (ERAL-Offtopic) to chat, post or discuss other topics.

Those applying for ERAL membership will be sent a two-part message titled "Welcome to the ERAL Registration Room" containing:

• A form for you to fill out and send back before you are actually subscribed, covering your identity, your confidentiality, and how you are willing to help
• A summary of ERAL's rules
