Dear Women Lawyers on Guard Action Network,
We know you are stressed.

Federal attorneys: are you looking for jobs; thinking of quitting?
Everyone: are you looking for ways to support democracy?
This is WLGAN’s 12th curation of simple actions you can take, as well as resources for federal attorneys and nonprofits. Now more than ever it’s essential that we take concerted action – whatever it is that you can do.
