We The Action Volunteer,
Good Afternoon, and welcome to our weekly digest of current volunteer legal projects.
Later this month, on April 25 (4pm ET), we will be celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Month with a virtual event to recognize the amazing work of We The Action volunteers! This will be a chance to meet the WTA Team, hear about the great work of fellow volunteers, and participate in a Q&A with the team. We would love to see you there. Register for the event here!
We have nearly 80 legal projects that need your help:
