U.S. Representative Liz Cheney’s unceremonious ejection from her position as Chair of the House Republican Conference for contending that truth matters highlights the uneasy place our democracy stands in the national conversation. 
 
Today, the Steering Committee of Lawyers Defending American Democracy released a statement calling on our fellow lawyers to join in the urgent and non-partisan need to defend Ms. Cheney against the unscrupulous actions of her colleagues and the metastasizing alternative reality that is invading the body politic.
 
Once again, we urge you to act individually as corporate counsel, professors and partners, and collectively through bar associations, and otherwise, to speak out in every way possible about the "Big Lie" and in defense of truth, decency and honor.
 
Signed,
The Steering Committee of Lawyers Defending American Democracy
