Women Lawyers On Guard

Sprung from the new activism that has developed since the last presidential election, Women Lawyers On Guard is a non-partisan advocacy organization that mobilizes women lawyers to challenge conditions and laws that undermine democracy.  The organization does so by supporting non-profit organizations through pro-bono legal assistance.  In addition, the organization encourages women to run for office and takes public positions on important legal issues.  The website informs:

“Women Lawyers On Guard is a national non-partisan organization harnessing the power of lawyers and the law in coordination with other organizations to preserve, protect, and defend the democratic values of equality, justice, and opportunity for all.”

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

WLG is organizing lawyers who plan on Marching for our Lives on Saturday March 24th in D.C.  Those who are interested, please meet on the steps of the National Portrait Gallery on the F Street side at 10 a.m.
