Election officials across the country continue to request support from the Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN), a project of The Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR), as they face ongoing threats, intimidation, and a deluge of misinformation.

This month, we highlight one of our crucial partners, We The Action, a reliable and integral resource for EOLDN for the past two years. We The Action’s mission is to harness the power and desire of lawyers to do good; it collaborates with nonprofits to direct legal help to worthy projects.

We The Action’s laser focus on connection is similar, and critical, to EOLDN’s mission of connecting attorneys with election officials who need help. As a nonprofit partner, EOLDN can reach thousands of interested attorneys via the We The Action project platform and target outreach to attorneys whose experience, location, and bar memberships make them suitable for a particular request from an election official. EOLDN has received over 100 sign-ups from volunteer attorneys through We The Action’s platform, a number certain to increase as we approach the 2024 election cycle.

EOLDN thanks We The Action for standing with us to protect election officials. When attorneys can easily connect with opportunities to do good, organizations working to protect democracy benefit. We are grateful for all of the partners who work with us to support election officials.
