friend,

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 for opportunities to help.

If you have questions about using We The Action, join us for a website demo on Wednesday at 6pm ET or Thursday at 4pm ET. If you have more questions about volunteering, set a meeting with our community manager, Oakey Daskas.
