Trump’s attack on major law firms that have represented his opponents or
worked on prosecutions against him needs to be recognized for what it is –
another threat to our democracy.

Think about it. He is trying to get major law firms to:

* Fire attorneys who worked on cases against him.
* Eliminate their firm’s DEI programs.
* Throw millions in pro bono legal services at his pet causes, like
representing insurrectionists.
* And tacitly agree to not bring cases against him or his
administration’s blatantly illegal agenda.

If they don't comply, they’ll be stripped of their government contracts
and security clearances and be barred from federal buildings. That could
destroy some firms, and the Washington Post reports that it is already
making it harder for people hurt by Trump's policies to get
representation.

One brave young lawyer, Rachel Cohen, recently resigned from her firm in
protest, telling her bosses, "If being on this career path demands I
accept that my industry—because this is certainly not unique to this
firm—will allow an authoritarian government to ignore the courts, I refuse
to take it any further. As I have said before, others stand to lose far,
far more than a paycheck."

The public has unique leverage here to support those fighting to do the
right thing from the inside. Law firms aren't used to fielding phone calls
and emails about their policies.

Will you call on law firms in Trump's crosshairs NOT to surrender to
