The midterm elections are less than a month away! We've heard from lawyers nationwide who are eager to help protect the election, so for the next month you can expect more emails from us highlighting opportunities specifically to work on voting rights issues.
Because voting laws vary so widely from state to state, many of our voting rights projects need lawyers barred in specific states. If you know any lawyers in the states recruiting lawyers, please forward it to them!
