We The Action Volunteer,
Can you believe the midterm elections are only 20 days away!?
With voting rights under attack across the nation, the fight for fair elections is more urgent than ever. That’s why thousands of lawyers like you are chipping in to help ensure the election is safe, secure, and accessible for everyone.
This Friday, October 21 at 1 PM ET, join Valerie Jarrett, Tina Tchen, We The Action, and When We All Vote for an exclusive, inside look at the effort to protect the vote!
Valerie — the current Board Chair of Civic Nation — and Tina — the current Chief Strategy and Impact Officer of the Obama Foundation — were both senior leaders at the Obama White House, and will give a behind the scenes look at how lawyers are defending our democracy.
This call is only for lawyers, so feel free to share this email with your professional networks. With less than three weeks until the elections, we need to make sure that our communities have the legal muscle they'll need to protect the elections and stand up for our democracy.
Click here to join the call on Friday to hear from Valerie Jarrett and Tina Tchen about how lawyers like you are making a difference!
Not available to join Valerie and Tina this Friday? Here are a few other opportunities for lawyers to help protect the elections:

Help Young Voters Understand Local Voting Laws
Rock the Vote
State elections laws vary widely, and Rock the Vote needs lawyers to help translate their research on local "ballot curing" provisions into easy-to-understand language for young voters. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers barred in any state are welcome to volunteer.

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.

Help Analyze Local Voting Laws to Advance Racial Justice
More Equitable Democracy
An organization dedicated to furthering racial justice by transforming electoral systems needs lawyers to analyze city and county charters to help advocates understand local voting laws and work to reform them. This is a remote opportunity, and lawyers may be barred in any state.

We hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.
