Women Lawyers on Guard Action Network,
As you may be aware, students from the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school and others are organizing a March For Our Lives on Saturday, March 24, 2018 in Washington, DC and across the nation to protest the lack of gun laws to protect students and citizens from mass shootings. Women Lawyers on Guard Action Network will be assembling that day in DC (at a place and time to be determined) and marching together.
Do you know who Marjory Stoneman Douglas was? While not a lawyer, she graduated from Wellesley College in 1912, was an amazing activist, journalist, suffragist, and environmentalist, and has been credited with saving the Everglades from destruction! She would have been proud of the students attending her namesake school. Here’s a LINK to an article about her.
See you on March 24th .

New data demonstrate that young women now report greater political engagement and participation than young men. As the Brookings Institution notes, “[t]his may be the first time in American history that an entire cohort of young women reports greater political engagement than their male peers. If so, this could presage a new wave of female activism that shifts the course of our politics in the 2018 mid-term elections and beyond.” Read more here:
