------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning, and welcome to our weekly digest of current volunteer legal projects.
With the recent news about the future of Roe v. Wade, please know that We The Action is actively speaking with reproductive justice organizations to find the best, highest impact opportunities for lawyers to contribute to the fight for reproductive justice. To ensure you see the latest opportunities as our partners post them, log in ([link removed]) today ([link removed]) and make sure that your profile includes reproductive justice under “Causes You Care About.”
There is also a time sensitive project that needs lawyers with criminal justice experience to attend rallies supporting abortion access on Saturday, May 14. If you don't have criminal justice experience, please help us spread the word to your network!
We have more than 110 legal projects that need your help:
