Lawyers interested in this cause

Lawyers are leading the charge to stop rollbacks on civil rights and the erosion of the rule of law.

Lawyers possess unique skills to defend our institutions, ensure justice and equality, and protect the liberties of all.

Lawyers are a key resource in this fight.

We The Action lawyers are working closely with our nonprofit partners to advocate for racial justice, support the equality of women and members of the LGBT community, preserve the integrity of our courts, and hold government officials accountable to the people.

Project Spotlight

Justice for Puerto Rico Recovery

In the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Maria, We The Action partnered with the Rebuild Puerto Rico Contracting Initiative and recruited lawyers to assist in creating a guide on how to secure federal contracts. A team of lawyers wrote the guide, which will help small business owners in Puerto Rico who want to rebuild and reopen, helping their communities and local economies in the process. With the completed guide in hand, the University of Puerto Rico School of Law ran a mini-course for its students and a one-day continuing education course for practicing lawyers on how to use the guide to, in turn, teach small business owners how to compete for federal disaster relief grants.

Making an impact.
