I can’t believe it, but the 2022 midterm elections are mostly behind us. I know when I volunteered on past Election Days as a voter protection lawyer, I woke up the next day exhausted, and I’m sure many of you are feeling the same way this morning. So I’ll cut right to the chase:
Thank you. Your work mattered.
Over the past year, nearly 3,500 volunteer lawyers donated more than 45,000 hours to 36 organizations working to make this election safe, secure, and accessible for every voter. Whether you answered voter questions through the national Election Protection hotline, represented local election officials facing harassment, helped create voter guides to empower young voters, or volunteered on another election protection project through We The Action, you made an enormous impact in the fight to defend voting rights.
From the bottom of my heart: Thank you for all the time and dedication. We know that not everyone has the same access to democracy yet, but your work helped voters across the country.
Our work is far from over, but I’m taking some time this morning to be grateful for lawyers like you.
With gratitude,
Anna Chu
Executive Director, We The Action
