This program is the fourth virtual program of our Voter Vanguard Democracy program series.

The program will inform attorneys about the work of our nonprofit partners, how they can volunteer, potential challenges and areas of focus in the final months leading up to Election Day, and how they can begin making a plan now to meet nonprofit needs nationally and in specific states in November and beyond.

Nonprofits are preparing for election day and they need volunteer lawyers. The program will highlight the needs of WTA nonprofit partners as we prepare for Election Day and how WTA lawyers are vital to nonprofit efforts. Protecting the right to vote, encouraging civic engagement amongst those eligible to vote, and upholding our constitutional rights are a few core ways pro bono attorneys act as the legal backbone in the pursuit of justice.

The program will cover nonpartisan election protection volunteer opportunities and nonprofit needs as they prepare for Election Day.
