On behalf of the Loren Miller Bar Association, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who attended and contributed to the Lawyers for Democracy Tour in the Pacific Northwest. The event brought together legal professionals, community members, and advocates in a shared mission to protect and strengthen our democratic process through voter education and election protection.
A special thank you goes to our incredible lineup of speakers, whose empowering words and action steps left us all inspired and ready to take meaningful action:
Sheley Secrest, President of the NAACP State Area Conference (Alaska, Oregon, Washington), whose leadership in civil rights advocacy set the tone for our commitment to justice.
Michele Storms, Executive Director of the ACLU of Washington, who provided critical insights on mobilizing for civic engagement and the importance of civil liberties in our democratic process.
Representative Jamila Taylor of Washington’s 30th Legislative District, whose closing remarks and call to action motivated us to continue the fight for equity and voter protection.
We also want to give a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and partners for their unwavering support, which made this event possible:
Pacifica Law Group
Pierce County Minority Bar Association
ACLU of Washington
Common Power
NAACP State Area Conference
Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle
Your contributions were instrumental in ensuring that this event not only happened but that it succeeded in mobilizing our community and the legal profession in this critical election year.
For those who joined us, your presence is a testament to the power of collective action. What an incredible opportunity to engage with some of the most insightful voices in the fight for democracy.
As we move forward, let’s remember the words shared and the urgency of the mission before us. Each of us has the power to protect and promote the right to vote, ensuring that every voice is heard, and every vote counts.
Let’s stay engaged, let’s stay active, and let’s stand together for a democracy that serves everyone.
Thank you again, and let’s continue this work with passion and purpose.
