Robert Hubbell (my go-to positive messenger-in-the-morning) thinks that the tide is turning to regain our democracy, although it will be slow. That may be, but I think that progress is not a straight line, hope is not a strategy, and we now must all take action, extending ourselves as we are able.
This is WLGAN’s 9th resource guide for Federal workers and also for people to support democracy. We must act; it’s no longer optional.

Volunteer
Public Service Legal Response Center. The PSLRC is a volunteer legal services program run by We the Action, to support individual federal civil service employees under assault by the current administration. There is an urgent need for lawyers to volunteer. Training will be provided, as well as supervision by experienced federal employment lawyers. Geographic location is not a factor. Sign up at:
https://wetheaction.org/projects/2914-public-service-legal-response-center
You will receive access to training videos, materials and future training sessions.
Upcoming Marches/Rallies and Other Actions
