Hi friend,

With less than two months to go, we’re finalizing our voter protection efforts. Each state has unique needs, and our goal is to help you find the best way to get involved. This election season, there is a role for every We The Action lawyer. Check out our Voter Protection Guide for opportunities to help.

We have over 120 projects that need your help. Check out these important project below:
