2021 may not have been an election year in many parts of the country, but We The Action lawyers still answered the call when asked to help protect the right to vote. In January, more than 250 lawyers volunteered to observe vote tallies in the Georgia Senate recount. And throughout the year, 1,300 lawyers staffed the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline, completing more than 5,100 shifts and donating 30,000 hours to answer voter questions to ensure that elections were safe, secure, and accessible for every voter.
