We The Action Volunteer,

Good morning, and welcome to our weekly digest of current volunteer legal projects.

We have an especially time sensitive project this week that needs your support. We need Dari, Pashto, and Farsi-speaking lawyers immediately to help support Afghan refugees. All volunteering is done through a mobile app, so lawyers can volunteer from anywhere. If you don't speak these languages, please consider sharing this email with your networks to help spread the word.

We have more than 70 legal projects that need your help:

	11—20 HOURS Help Reunite Immigrant Families Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network Detained immigrants facing deportation need lawyers to help represent them in bond hearings to remain with their family in the United States. Although this project is based in Colorado, this is a remote opportunity and lawyers from any state are welcome to volunteer.
	6—10 HOURS URGENT: Help Eliminate Language Barriers for Afghan Refugees Tarjimly Dari, Pashto, and Farsi-speaking lawyers are needed immediately to serve as translators and interpreters to help support Afghan refugees. All volunteering is done through a mobile app, so lawyers can volunteer from anywhere. This project is only open to lawyers who speak Pashto, Dari, or Farsi. If you don't speak these languages, please consider sharing this project with your networks to help spread the word.
	1—5 HOURS Help an ALS Patient with Employment & Disability Questions I Am ALS A person living with ALS has questions surrounding their transition from working full-time to going on disability. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers can be barred in any state.
	11—20 HOURS Support Efforts to Pass Civil Rights Legislation Rise Up, Inc. An advocacy organization is looking for lawyers to help pass state and federal laws to expand rural access to broadband internet, access to SNAP and other basic benefits for students, and housing rights for people with disabilities.

	11—20 HOURS Help a Trans Woman Stay in the Country Trans Empowerment Project Help an immigrant trans woman, who is married to an American citizen, avoid deportation and navigate an immigration system that has thus far denied her citizenship. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers from any state are welcome to volunteer.
	11—20 HOURS Help Advance Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Government Inclusive America An organization promoting diversity in government needs help reviewing previous Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and developing a template for recommendations. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers can be barred in any state, though volunteers must have experience in federal legislative advocacy.

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

Best,
