ABA Day Digital | April 22-23

    ABA Day is over but you can still take action! See below how you can still make an impact --- The American Bar Association calls on all members of the legal profession to move with one solid voice and tell Congress the legal profession demands action.

    With congressional offices restricted by the recent coronavirus pandemic, we will not be able to storm the Hill for ABA Day in-person. Instead, let's raise our voices from every corner of the country! Let’s flood social media with advocacy messages of support, send emails directly to congressional leaders, and share the stories that matter from the ones living it every day.
