Happy Pro Bono Week! Established in 2009, this annual celebration highlights the importance of pro bono participation. We also want to take a moment this week to thank you, our dedicated community of 50,000 volunteers, for generously donating your time and talent year-round.
If you haven’t had a chance to volunteer this election season, you still have time! Check out our Voter Protection Guide ([link removed]) for opportunities to help.
If you have questions about using We The Action, join us for a website demo on Wednesday at 6pm ET ([link removed]) or Thursday at 4pm ET ([link removed]) . If you have more questions about volunteering, set a meeting ([link removed]) with our community manager, Oakey Daskas.
