Every month, we here at We The Action have the pleasure of sharing the stories of lawyers like you who are fighting for causes they believe in. Whatever their experience level, expertise, or availability, Amicus Mundi winners exemplify the best of the legal profession through their selfless commitment to advancing voting rights, reproductive and gender equity, racial justice, and more.


As you reflect on the past year and look to 2023, we encourage you to take a moment to read the stories of these outstanding lawyers. And if you feel inspired, sign up for one of the 120 projects currently looking for volunteer lawyers!
