DC Pro Bono Week 2024: Mobilizing After The Election
An election always brings change. If the incumbent wins, they may feel they have the freedom to push policy agendas in a second term. If the challenger wins, they may feel they’ve been handed a mandate to pursue their differing policies. In a presidential election, the stakes are higher and the policies reach further.
Regardless of the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, there will be issues on which the public-interest and pro bono community will need to mobilize quickly. In this discussion, our panelists will discuss the most pressing issues of this election and how we as advocates and legal professionals can use our skills and resources to respond to potential results of the election.
Our panelists include:
- Emily Martin, Chief Program Officer, National Women’s Law Center
- Laurie Ball Cooper, Vice President, U.S. Legal Programs, International Refugee Assistance Project
We invite lawyers, law students, legal professionals, community partners, social service organizations, and anyone whose work will be affected by the results of the election.
