John,

Since Election Night, Donald Trump and his allies have made fraudulent claims that Trump won the election – and they are continuing to undermine democracy by trying to block votes from being counted and spreading falsehoods about the election outcome.

But they’re not alone in this exercise. Two major law firms – Jones Day and Porter Wright – are helping to litigate Trump’s groundless claims. These firms are complicit in helping Trump bully and cheat in his desperate effort to disenfranchise millions of Americans, including millions of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous voters in this country. These lawyers took an oath to support the Constitution, but now they are violating it with these unethical actions.

Tomorrow, ShutDownDC will be marching to Porter Wright’s offices, starting from Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC. If you’re in the D.C. area, join them for this day of action. 

When: Friday, November 13, at 12:00 pm ET

Where: Black Lives Matter Plaza (at 16th and H NW)

RSVP here

Meanwhile, in New York, Rise and Resist will be visiting the law offices of Jones Day. If you’re in the NYC area, join them.

When: Friday, November 13, 12:00 - 1:00 pm ET

Where: 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 10281

RSVP here

From coast to coast, the people are continuing to make their voices heard. In addition to visiting the offices of these firms, we will be making phone calls as part of a national campaign demanding that they stop attacking democracy, drop Trump as a client, and end these frivolous lawsuits.

If you can’t make it to actions in New York or D.C., call the offices of Jones Day and Porter Wright and tell them to end their complicity in these attacks on our democracy and our Constitution.

Jones Day: 1-202-879-3939

Porter Wright: 1-202-778-3000

We know from media sources that these law firms are feeling the heat, and we need to keep the pressure on. It’s going to take a multifaceted, multi-city effort, both in-person and online.

Let us know if you’re coming in person on Friday and whether you will participate in the call-in campaign. Together, we can protect our democracy from Trump’s last-ditch efforts to undermine this election.

In solidarity,

Free Speech For People
