Voter Vanguard 2024: Securing our elections and advancing the right to vote.
Our democracy is under assault, so the fight for fair elections and the right to vote is more urgent than ever. As part of We The Action’s Voter Vanguard campaign, thousands of volunteer lawyers will be defending our democracy, securing our elections, and advancing the right to vote during the 2024 election cycle. We The Action is recruiting lawyers to collectively donate 150,000 hours of legal services to protect democracy. With more than 150 million voters expected to cast ballots in 2024, volunteer lawyers are critical to resolving the potential volume of voter issues.
