We The Action Volunteer,

Did you know that today is the national Thank Election Heroes Day of Action? Across the country, volunteers are participating today in events to celebrate election workers who ensure our elections run smoothly and efficiently.

We know our lawyers care deeply about protecting democracy, so we've found some of the best volunteer projects for lawyers like you to help ensure elections are safe and secure. You can find more information about these opportunities below. Thank you in advance for any time you can donate to these worthy projects.

	6—10 HOURS Help Defend Election Officials Election Official Legal Defense Network With state election officials facing increased harassment, threats, and legal challenges, lawyers are needed to represent them. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers may be barred in any state.
	21+ HOURS Help Update National Tool to Recruit Poll Workers Fair Elections Center A nonpartisan voting rights group needs help updating and confirming legal information for their national poll worker recruitment tool. Training provided. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers from any state are welcome to volunteer.
	1—5 HOURS Join an Event to Help Formerly Convicted People Restore Their Voting Rights Florida Rights Restoration Coalition On April 22, an organization dedicated to ending the disenfranchisement of people with convictions is hosting a Researchathon — a nationwide, coordinated event for lawyers to help formerly convicted people restore their voting rights. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers from any state are welcome to volunteer.

You're invited to an exclusive lunch & learn event to learn more about the effort to support Afghan refugees!
