Colleagues and Friends,

Through the work and dedication of a small Board and a growing volunteer base, LDAD is much like the little engine that could. We think we can, and we do, work each day to make our voice heard in the fight to preserve American democracy.

But even a small organization needs resources to survive. We are grateful to attorney Barbara Schmitt for demonstrating her confidence in us by offering a $40,000 matching grant.

Now we ask all of you to contribute $25 this  week – a gift that will be worth $50 to LDAD.

Such a volume response by the end of this week would have a significant impact on this organization, but it only works if you participate!

Our last few months have been extraordinarily busy. In addition to impactful projects which you will be hearing more about soon, and in furtherance of our Democracy Commitment, we have:

• Engaged with people across the country to encourage involvement in nonpartisan, non-political efforts to protect democracy and the rule of law.
• Spoke at the Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Bar Presidents in Chicago and participated in a webinar sponsored by the Washington State Bar Association. If you are interested in having LDAD speak, please contact us.
• LDAD volunteer, James W. Conrad, Jr., wrote a brilliant article for us that supports the involvement of bar associations in nonpartisan, non-political projects to protect democracy. For a copy of this analysis, please click here. 

 We generally keep our emails focused on substance, save for a small ask at the end. This email is an exception to that principle and we are grateful for your consideration. And although we are asking for $25 from each of you this week, please know that larger gifts are always welcome!

With thanks,

The Board, LDAD
