Dear Women Lawyers On Guard,
Did you know that only 15% of federal employees work in the DC area? Now that they and our democracy are under attack, do you need help navigating ways to help them, yourselves, or to protect and strengthen democracy itself?
Following up our Dec 16th email, here are some additional resources. The first two are specifically focused on federal employees, the others are about how you can help strengthen democracy through your own small (or large) measures, by volunteering or just taking individual action.
Resources and Guides for Civil Servants
- “Dear Civil Servant” (If you Can Keep It -a project of Protect Democracy) : https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/dear-civil-servant
- Coming Soon: “Civil Service Strong” (Democracy Forward) resources for employees: https://www.civilservicestrong.org/resources
Other Resources for Protecting and Strengthening Democracy
- Volunteer: Lawyers for Good Government. This is the easiest organization to volunteer with. Although they are not working federal employee issues at this time, they are addressing immigration, climate change, reproductive and civil rights https://www.lawyersforgoodgovernment.org/volunteer
- “How YOU can protect Democracy” (Quinn Raymond at If You Can Keep It): https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-you-can-protect-democracy
- Executive Order Resource Center (Democracy Forward): https://www.democracy2025.org/response-center
- Coming soon: “The Democracy Index” (The Contrarian): https://joycevance.substack.com/p/the-democracy-index-and-the-contrarian
Please forward this to your networks.
