We hope this message finds you in good health and resolute in our joint commitment to safeguard the fundamental principles of democracy. As we approach the year-end, the call for year-end donations becomes increasingly urgent, and we want to ensure you are caught up on the noteworthy accomplishments from this past week.

Here's a recap of what you might have missed:

Our Year-End Report Unveiled: Dive into the comprehensive Year-End Report to explore the intricacies of our achievements, challenges faced, and the path forward. It's a compelling narrative of our collective efforts throughout the year.
"Marching Towards Autocracy: How States are Failing Democracy – And What We Can Do About It": This in-depth compendium sheds light on the alarming wave of anti-democratic laws and policies at the state level. The report not only identifies new State laws that are significantly eroding democracy, but also underscores the urgent need for attention to protect the rule of law.
Advocacy for Ethics: On December 15, LDAD joined a bipartisan coalition urging the disbarment of Jenna Ellis following her guilty plea in Georgia. This united effort includes former Republican officials, prominent law professors, and advisors from both the Bush and Obama Presidencies.
Celebrating Legacy: Executive Director Lauren Stiller Rikleen eloquently praises Sandra Day O’Connor’s legacy in a thought-provoking piece for the Verdict, emphasizing the profound impact of her contributions.

As we reflect on these achievements, we are reminded that our work is both urgent and impactful. If you haven't already, please make a tax-deductible year-end contribution to help shape the future of our democracy and support the vital work of Lawyers Defending American Democracy.

Your unwavering commitment is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,

The Board,

Lawyers Defending American Democracy
