How We The Action works.
Nonprofits that need legal assistance.
Nonprofits looking for lawyers to help navigate legal challenges, from research to contract review to urgent response.
Why volunteer?
Lawyers have a unique ability to make an impact in the community. Here are some reasons lawyers have joined We the Action.
“In the week after the Parkland school shooting, I was desperately searching for ways to help turn sorrow and outrage into action. I saw a request from the American Constitution Society. They needed lawyers, and I needed a cause. Within a few hours, I was part of a pro-bono team of researchers sifting through state laws to find ways to get high school students around the country registered to vote.”
“We are living through an historic moment where our civil liberties and the very fabric of who we are as a nation are at risk. And someday my kids are going to ask if their mom stepped up and helped. I want to tell them that I got involved—that I decided to take action.”
“We The Action makes it so easy for a full-time professional to participate. I wasn’t sure if I should keep my bar membership on active status this year—but I’m so glad I did. I was able to find a project that I could fit into my schedule, and am excited to jump onto the next project! It’s truly inspiring to see that so much more work is possible when you have the right avenues and infrastructure set up!”
“When the news of the day is equal parts enraging and frustrating, I prefer to channel those feelings into helping We The Action’s partner organizations work towards justice and a fairer society.”
“I came across We The Action during a transitional period in my legal career. I had just left a large law firm and was trying to figure out what I wanted to do next. We The Action allowed me to develop skills in different areas of law. It is a great organization that allows attorneys to give back to various causes while exploring different areas of law they are interested in.”
