Movement Lawyer Squad ⚖️
We are looking to build a collaborative approach between lawyers and people-powered movements in Philadelphia. We need practicing lawyers and law students to join with us to use legal strategies to advance social justice goals and wins for our movement.
With your legal support we can
- Ensure our work is legally compliant
- Ensure our recommended or endorsed candidates qualify for the ballot
- Strengthen our endorsement questionnaires, interviews, and overall process in judicial elections
- Build a bench of candidates that can run for office. Legal experience is a skill that can be invaluable for races for committee person, judge, sheriff, city commissioner, councilmember, etc
- Have a legal lens for policies and legislation we craft with movement electeds
