Public Counsel is ready to fight back against policies that threaten our communities.
The 2024 presidential election results mark a pivotal moment for the future of civil rights, immigrant protections, and the rule of law. Those of us who believe in the dignity and rights of all people, regardless of immigration status, background, or gender are bracing for the return of harmful policies that threaten the progress we’ve fought so hard to achieve. But at Public Counsel, we are not waiting—we are mobilizing. We are poised to take action against unlawful policies that target historically marginalized communities and undermine our democracy.
Public Counsel has been here before. During the last Trump administration, we successfully defended immigrant families against the Muslim Ban, protected Dreamers when the DACA program was attacked, opposed efforts to dismantle asylum protections, and secured a historic settlement for families torn apart by his cruel family separation policy. We have a proven record of defeating unjust policies and ensuring that justice prevails, and we are prepared to be a leader in the legal resistance in Trump’s second term.
The next four years will be a defining test for the character of our country, the strength of its institutions, and the resilience of our democracy. Under an administration launched in the shadow of Project 2025’s dangerous agenda, we face the prospect of mass deportations, the stripping of legal protections from marginalized groups, and the dismantling of our social safety net. The stakes could not be higher.
Public Counsel is ready to be a leader in the fight. We are gearing up to challenge unlawful policies in courtrooms, provide legal support to those directly impacted, and ensure that no one is left behind. But we cannot do this alone. This moment calls for bold, decisive action, and we need your support now more than ever.
Here’s how you can take action right now:
- Donate today to power our legal battles and advocacy campaigns. Your support will allow us to fight back against harmful policies, defend the most vulnerable, and ensure justice prevails.
- Join us in the fight by volunteering your legal or advocacy expertise. Whether you’re a lawyer or an advocate, your involvement can make a direct impact.
- Spread the word by sharing our message and calls to action across your networks to raise awareness about the urgent challenges ahead.
While the challenges ahead are daunting, we know from experience that together, we can protect the values we hold dear. We’ve done it before, and with your support, we will do it again. Public Counsel is ready to uphold the rule of law and stand with our communities in this pivotal moment in history. Thank you for being with us every step of the way.
