Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights - Voting Rights
Since 1965, the Lawyers’ Committee has been at the forefront of the legal struggle to advance and protect the right to vote and to ensure that the right is afforded equally to all. Through coordinated and integrated programs of litigation, voter protection, advocacy, and education, the Voting Rights Project has had a tremendous positive impact on communities of color, low-income communities, youth, people with disabilities, and other traditionally disenfranchised populations.

American Constitution Society
Our democracy depends on all eligible citizens having a meaningful opportunity to vote. ACS’s work in this area promotes laws and policies that protect and expand the right to vote, as well as ensure that our elections are fair and accessible. To further this work, ACS provides opportunities for lawyers and law students to engage in projects related to expanding voting rights--both on the ground and remote research opportunities.

Election Protection
The national, nonpartisan Election Protection coalition works year-round to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Made up of more than 100 local, state, and national partners, Election Protection uses a wide range of tools and activities to protect, advance, and defend the right to vote. Volunteers provide voter information, document problems they encounter when voting, and work with partners and volunteers on the ground to identify and remove barriers to voting. Election Protection focuses on the voter—not on the political horse race—and provides guidance, information and help to any American, regardless of his or her voting choices.

National Lawyers Guild - Mass Defense Program
The Mass Defense Committee (MDC) is a network of lawyers, legal workers, and law students providing legal support for political activists, protesters, and movements for social change. MDC members in chapters across the country provide training, assistance in setting up temporary legal offices and legal support structures, and materials for supporting activists engaged in mass protests.
