friend,

This upcoming Monday is the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. This is a time to reflect on service and commit to making a difference in our communities. As you enter the holiday weekend and think about how you can make an impact, please consider signing up for a project through We The Action. Check out these projects below or find a project on our volunteer dashboard.

	1—5 HOURS, JANUARY 30th AT 3PM ET Virtual Lawyer Training: Preparing Nonprofits for Attacks We The Action Nonprofits play a vital role in society by addressing needs that are often unmet by the private sector and government. But recently, they have come under attack. Come learn the ways in which nonprofits may be threatened, where the needs are, and what you can do to help these organizations as a volunteer lawyer. This is a remote workshop, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
	1—5 HOURS Provide Legal Counsel for Survivors National Women's Law Center The Legal Network for Gender Equity, which combats sex harassment and other sex discrimination, needs lawyers to speak to survivors about their experiences and give them a trauma-informed consultation about their options. Employment law and litigation experience required. This is a remote project, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
	11—20 HOURS Election Protection Jail & Post-Release Voting Working Group State Guides Prisoners Legal Advocacy Network (PLAN) Foundation Volunteer lawyers are needed to review, revise, and update the Election Protection Jail & Post-Release Voting Working Group’s Guide for a designated state. These Guides serve as a definitive resource for potential voters who are impacted by the criminal legal system, and for the advocates who assist them. This is a remote project, but lawyers must be barred in one of the following states: Alabama, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, or Wisconsin.

We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.
