We The Action
** friend,
------------------------------------------------------------
Happy New Year! This year, we hope you will set a resolution to volunteer with We The Action.
To help you get started, join our upcoming webinar ([link removed]) . Our nonprofit partners have expressed concerns about the increasing risk of politically motivated attacks intended to interfere with their work. At We The Action, our mission is to amplify the impact of nonprofit leaders. So we are calling on you, our community of lawyers, to help support our nonprofit partners. Join our Bolder Advocacy training on 1/30 to learn how to help nonprofits understand these attacks, assess and reduce their risks, and prepare to respond if an attack does occur.
Again, happy New Year! We look forward to working with you in the months to come!
