The Systemic Justice Project at Harvard Law School is working with other organizations to launch a new initiative, the Justice Union, to bring together law students and lawyers eager to help respond to escalating attacks on civil rights, vulnerable communities, democratic institutions, and the environment.
The Justice Union will help coordinate discrete, time-sensitive legal research and analysis by a volunteer network in support of organizations and communities facing pressing law-related challenges.
Building on previous successful initiatives co-led by the Systemic Justice Project (the Justice Initiative and the COVID-19 Rapid Response + Systems Summer Institute), the Justice Union hopes also to offer learning opportunities and foster a community of law students and lawyers dedicated to resisting authoritarianism and building toward a more just future.
If you are a lawyer or law student interested in getting involved, please complete this survey: https://bit.ly/JUInitialSurvey.
