** We The Action Volunteer,
------------------------------------------------------------

We The Action was founded five years ago on the fundamental belief that lawyers have the power to do good and, together, a community of lawyers dedicated to social justice can make a real difference.

Time and time again, you’ve proven this belief correct. Since 2017, more than 42,000 volunteer lawyers have donated more than $110 million in free legal services to more than 500 nonprofits nationwide. And while we’re so proud of this work, we know we can’t rest on our laurels. We need to be ready for whatever challenges we face next.


** That’s why we’re excited to introduce you to We The Action’s new Executive Director, Anna Chu!

Anna brings a wealth of experience to her role as Executive Director of We The Action. Anna has served in leadership roles both at the National Women's Law Center and the Center for American Progress, so she deeply understands the need of nonprofits for pro bono legal assistance. Anna started her career as a law clerk for former Chief Judge Jane A. Restani of the Court of International Trade and spent time as an associate at Paul Hastings LLP.
“I decided to practice law because I wanted to be a part of something bigger than myself. I believe the law can be an engine for change — especially among underrepresented communities — to protect the most vulnerable, fight for justice, and defend our values. At We The Action, we put those values to work and give lawyers of every experience level, every expertise, and from every ZIP code a chance to make a difference on the issues they care about most. There’s an unprecedented need for volunteer lawyers nationwide, and I’m thrilled to join We The Action and continue growing this community as we fight for a more just and equitable nation."
- Anna Chu, Executive Director, We The Action
