LCLD Alumni | Virtual Fall Community Service Event

Join LCLD Lawyers from across the country on Wednesday, September 25, 12:00 – 3:00 pm ET via Zoom to help formerly convicted people restore their voting rights. This Alumni-wide virtual Fall Community Service Event is a collaboration between LCLD, We The Action (WTA), and Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC).

The event will start with a 30 minute orientation meeting and onboarding training. Attorneys from any state can help and FRRC staff will train you in the applicable law and research tools.

In the next 2 hours, volunteers will (1) conduct case-research using state and local county clerk websites, and (2) upload the information and court documents gathered from that research. During the ‘researchathon’ each attorney should be able to do the research to help 1-3 returning citizens to get their voting rights back. Volunteers can do this work from anywhere so long as they have internet and Zoom access. The supervision provided is not legal supervision–it is FRRC project supervision in coordinating the efforts, assigning applicants, and answering project questions.

We understand that some individuals may step away from the training but can rejoin whenever they have questions. The assignments we provide also come with an additional one-week deadline, allowing extra time for those who need it to complete their work.

Please note that you must have or make a We The Action before registering.
