Last week, the Chicago chapter of the National Lawyers Guild sought leave to file an amicus brief in the case of the Uhuru Three. I bought it on PACER and have uploaded it to CourtListener via the RECAP browser extension. It argues strongly in favor of the First Amendment: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flmd.413158/gov.uscourts.flmd.413158.225.1.pdf
