We're concerned by the Trump administration's executive orders targeting law firms and the reported harassment of individual lawyers, as detailed in this article. Attacking lawyers for representing those against the government is a major threat to democracy. The rule of law demands accountability for all, and lawyers are vital in challenging power and ensuring justice. Intimidating them undermines this crucial check, chilling legal challenges and limiting access to justice.

Protecting lawyers' ability to work without fear is essential to safeguard our democracy. We must resist such intimidation.
