Rally at the US Supreme Court – Nov 15
Join us at the U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday, Nov 15 for a lawyers’ rally. We are joining the Alliance for Justice, ACLU, Indivisible, American Constitution Society, People’s Parity Project, and others to send a message that no one is above the law!
Rally for the bedrocks of our legal system: the Constitution, the rule of law and equal justice for all. If you are a lawyer and are looking for a way to take action – here’s one way.
Meet at the U.S Supreme Court at 1 PM, Saturday, Nov 15.
BOYCOTT SPOTIFY
You may have heard that Spotify is running ads for ICE. See this report. Not only does that mean that they are supporting the snatching of people by ICE without due process (including US Citizens),but also making money from these ads. If you have Spotify, please consider sending them a strong message.
Remember how effective the boycott of Disney was when Jimmy Kimmel was fired.

It’s not bad enough that this administration has fired thousands of federal workers without cause. It has now subjected all the rest to work or furlough without pay – and they are making no attempt to open the government again.
RESOURCES FOR WORKERS
Here are some resources for federal workers that might be helpful during this shutdown – thank you WBA of DC for compiling this information and standing in solidarity during this difficult time.
The WBA also invites you to join its WBA Government Attorneys Forum, which offers regular programs designed to educate, connect, and empower government attorneys and legal professionals across all levels of service.
NO KINGS
We urge everyone to attend Saturday’s rallies to send a loud and clear message of protest. Find a rally near you at www.nokings.org. And we are told to WEAR YELLOW.
See you there

I wish “Arresting and Zip Tying Children in Chicago” was the title of a fictional horror film or a headline I made up. But it’s true. ICE agents stormed an apartment building in Chicago in the wee hour of the morning while families slept, using Black Hawk helicopters and military style vehicles. They forced people out of their beds, ZIP TIED CHILDREN who were US Citizens, separating them from their parents. Then they trashed the apartments. One witness said, the people were “terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming” Here’s the news report. To me, these are Gestapo tactics, designed to terrorize people and make them submit (and worse) to an authoritarian regime.
What is your “line in the sand?” That after they cross it, you will become more active, more vocal, and more impactful? This invasion seems to me a line that every American should consider the Rubicon.
But it’s not enough to hit the angry emoji on your social media and “share” this news. We have to be visible and vocal in the next “No Kings” rally, Sat Oct 18, and surpass June 14th’s No Kings national gathering of 5 Million people. The purpose of No Kings is to make it clear that we will not be passive when an authoritarian is trying to take our jobs, our future, and our Constitution from us. And only you, individually and collectively have the power to send this message.
Saturday, October 18. If you can come to DC, please send me an email and I will let you know where we are meeting. If you can’t come to DC, find a place near you to rally, using this map.
And, if you absolutely cannot participate on Saturday, find someone who otherwise wasn’t going to attend and have them go in your place!
Thank you – we are all in this together; courage is contagious.

NO KINGS RALLY Saturday, OCTOBER 18
Ukrainians took to the streets in massive numbers this July, while Russian bombs were raining down on their cities, when they thought their president was taking away key agencies guarding against corruption.
We are not asking you to do this! But rather to attend a peaceful day of mass mobilization on Sat. Oct.18 to tell our administration that we will no longer sit back while they impose authoritarianism on us.
Together we can show them that
- We are not intimidated.
- We reject strongman tactics, corruption, and stripping of our Constitutional rights.
- We are the great majority in America and growing.
Thomas Paine said, in 1776 (updated for today), “These are the times that try our souls.” 249 years later we are being tested again. And it’s not a time to just hit “like” or “angry” on your social media.
TO BE EFFECTIVE, this must be a massive rally. If you absolutely cannot come, please, find a friend (who otherwise was not going) and have them attend in your place. If you can attend, bring some friends.
WLGAN will be congregating in downtown DC (let us know if you are meeting us and we will let you know where), but these rallies are nationwide. Find one near to you on this map.(scroll down to see map)
Thank you for helping save our democracy – it is a crucial time.

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT!
THREE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SOMETHING – TAKE ACTION
Non-Profit Legal Defense Network
We the Action, in collaboration with Alliance for Justice, has just launched a defense network for nonprofits that are being targeted by this administration. The Nonprofit Legal Defense Network, needs lawyers to help nonprofits withstand these attacks, for example, by advising them on compliance, policies, handbooks, operations, etc. HERE’s the link to volunteer.
Election Officers Legal Defense Network
The EOLDN connects pro bono attorneys with election officials (regardless of party affiliation) who are facing job-related harassment, intimidation and targeting. They need litigators, employment lawyers, criminal defense and First Amendment lawyers (not election lawyers!) HERE’s a link to sign up.
Here’s a quote from a volunteer: “…administering elections [today] takes true courage. Giving assistance to election officials is what makes me proud to be a lawyer.”
L4GG Pro Bono Litigation Corps- FEMA Whistleblower case
In August, 200 FEMA employees signed a powerful dissent letter to Congress exposing mismanagement, censorship and dangerous failures within the agency. At least 30 of them have now been placed on leave. L4GG is working with the Government Accountability Project (CAP) on this case.
HERE’s a link to volunteer or support L4GG’s Litigation Corps.
Please sign up to help these efforts!
