That's a Wrap on the (un)conference!

To our (un)conference participants, thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to try something new with NAWL in Palm Springs last week!

Tools to Make Sense of this Moment

Staying up on the latest news and legal happenings is challenging right now. Each week, we'll aim to share the essential resources and news related to NAWL's mission. Find the full list here.

Three helpful resources:

• "John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act Reintroduced in House; Brennan Center Reacts" - Brennan Center for Justice, Mar. 5, 2025
• State Democracy Defenders Action brings together a bipartisan all-star team of experts in safeguarding democracy.
• Just Security's Litigation Tracker tracks legal challenges to Trump administration actions.

Two opportunities to take action:

• Work with We The Action's Public Service Legal Response Center to assist current or former federal workers. (They even have a virtual training tomorrow!)
• Volunteer with VECINA and help them fulfill their mission of empowering immigrant justice advocates.
