First, the good news: One of WLGAN’s fearless leaders, Cory Amron, has been selected by the ABA Commission on Women to receive a Margaret Brent Award at the Annual Meeting in Chicago, Aug 2, in part because of her work with you all on WLG/WLGAN. It would be great to see you there to celebrate! HERE’s the Notice and here’s information about the award.
Now to the urgent news: Please Find a Place Saturday to Stand/Sit for 1-2 hours. Here’s Why:
How many of your “lines in the sand” has this authoritarian administration crossed so far? Unconstitutional war in the Middle East? Illegal tariffs roiling the economy? Destruction of entire federal agencies with devastating life and death consequences in third world countries? Destroying programs assisting women and people of color in overcoming decades of discrimination? Tearing down part of the White House? Corruption and grift?
The purpose of the No Kings rally 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. One way to send that message lies within your power. It’s not enough to hit the angry emoji on your social media and “share” the latest news.
We have to be even more visible and vocal at the 3rd “No Kings” rally on Sat. March 28 than we were in the second rally; we have to surpass October’s No Kings’ collective, national gathering of 7 Million people.
WHEN: Saturday, MARCH 28.
WHERE: If you will be in the DC area, 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 using the map at this link.
Wherever you attend a No Kings rally, however, please bring 2 people who are new to No Kings with you.
Also: Save the Date: Friday May 1:”May Day Strong” https://maydaystrong.org/ and,

Today WLGAN submitted comments to the US Department of Education in opposition to a proposed rule. In the deceptive, “mirror image” and “opposite” communications used by this administration, the rule is entitled “Reimagining and Improving Student Education.”
While this rule may “reimagine” student education, far from improving student education, it would destroy opportunities to get an education in many women-dominated professions. For example, nursing, social work, teaching, and physical therapy -to name a few. These are also professions that are experiencing shortages – thereby actually endangering all of us- especially our health, education, and safety.
How is the Department of Education going to accomplish this? By “reclassifying” certain professions that require graduate degrees and limiting students’ ability to borrow funds to pay for the cost of these degrees.
Thank you for adding your voice to the weight of opposition to this ill-advised U.S. Department of Education proposed rule.
Cory Amron,
Vice President

Enough is Beyond Enough in the violation of our Constitutional rights, the rule of law, our rights as Americans and our rights as human beings.
Doing something makes a difference. Here are 4 impactful actions (thank you L4GG for first 3):
- Sign up to volunteer with the Detention Bridge Project. Lawyers 4 Good Government. needs lawyers for remote and in-person intakes, bond hearings, habeas petitions, and impact litigation. All experience levels welcome—training provided.
- Call on Congress to act: The House just voted to approve ICE’s annual budget. The Senate votes this week. Take 2 minutes to demand that Congress refuse to fund ICE in response to the lawlessness we have witnessed.
- Help organizations working in Minnesota: Stand With Minnesota maintains a directory of organizations and mutual aid funds responding to the crisis in the Twin Cities. Explore their listings to find groups doing work that aligns with your values.
- No Kings: Show up and be counted at the next NoKings Rally, March 28.

WOMEN-DOMINATED PROFESSIONS ATTACKED
Women’s professions are being stripped of their dignity, gravitas, and the ability to finance student education.
You may not be aware, but this has already happened under the Big “Ugly” Bill, passed earlier this year, for certain medical professions- limiting loans to $50,000 per year. And regulations are expected in January to squeeze women-dominated professions even more, including nursing, public health, social work and physical therapists.
How? The Trump administration will be proposing a far stricter cap, $20,500 a year, for students pursuing graduate degrees in these women-dominated professions. They will be stripped of their “professional” designations so that they will no longer entitled to a higher cap for a professional program!
Of course, this is only the first step in de-legitimizing professions that are dominated by women and forcing them out of the professional workforce.
CALL TO ACTION
The regulations will be issued in January. Please respond to this email, if you would like to volunteer to assist WLGAN to respond to these regulations.
