We The Action
Hi
there,
Like you, our team has been following the alarming attacks on the rule of law in recent weeks. We The Action was created by lawyers, for lawyers. We believe in the rule of law and that includes having an independent judiciary, allowing lawyers to vigorously represent their clients, and enabling all people to advance their interests in courts of law.
We also believe in the power of the legal profession to safeguard our democracy and protect vulnerable populations. Here at We The Action, we believe in the power of pro bono work to increase access to justice, balancing the scales of power for individuals and communities who cannot otherwise afford legal representation.
The path ahead is uncertain, but one thing remains clear: we will stand firm and continue to do everything in our power to mobilize lawyers to use their skills and expertise to protect the most vulnerable, defend civil rights, and uphold our democracy.
If you’re ready to take action right now, you can sign up for one of the projects below:
