Across the country, 50 cities and 10,000+ lawyers and judges participated. This year, we are building something bigger because the moment demands it. Here's the truth: the threats to our legal system right now are not abstract or theoretical. Judges are being threatened with impeachment for issuing lawful rulings. Federal court orders are being openly defied. Lawyers who defend constitutional principles face harassment. These are threats to the institutions that protect every one of our clients, regardless of who they are or what they believe. The legal profession has a unique responsibility here. We swore an oath. We understand, perhaps better than any other professional community, what is at stake when courts lose their independence, when executive power goes unchecked, and when the rule of law becomes optional for those in power. And we know that when lawyers stay silent, the public reads our silence as acceptance. Law Day of Action is not a protest. It is not affiliated with any political party or candidate. It is a profession-wide act of witness: lawyers and judges standing together at courthouse steps to say that our oath is not contingent on political convenience, and that equal justice under law is not negotiable. https://actionnetwork.org/events/detroit-stands-for-the-rule-of-law-2
