What We Do

We are a network of experienced attorneys and other professionals available to provide pro-bono assistance on a wide variety of legal issues to new and established organizations that share our mission and values. We also take public positions on important legal issues, including placing op-eds in nationally syndicated publications and filing amicus briefs in courts across the country.

We focus our work within three key issue areas: sexual harassment, gender and workplace equity, and women’s health and reproductive rights.

Our members want to “do something” for our country, but they may not know how to find meaningful projects. We help fulfill your commitment to work on urgent, mission-driven issues.
