Then came yesterday’s chilling Supreme Court decree in the #Trump #immunity case. Like anybody who fears dictatorship, particularly one with a white Christian patriarchal agenda, I reeled. As somebody who has known this Supreme Court went rogue a while back, I thought that #LeadersFromLaw is more crucial than ever. To have had success in fundraising for #LFL over the past 24 hours is a ray of hope. 4/

Good news (and we need it) on the #LeadersFromLaw fundraising effort. Yesterday I made my second ask here on #mastodon. Since then we have raised roughly another $500, going from $1900 to $2400. Goal remains $5000. Yesterday’s ask at https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/112713628023757103. Donations can be made at the #LFL site: https://www.leadersfromlaw.com/home. I’m profoundly grateful for the donations and the boosts. Many hands…light work.

I’m in the midst of leading a day and half long #LeadersFromLaw workshop for rising progressive lawyers and law students interested in public office. We are gathered at #TempleUniversity in #Philadelphia. The range of experience and talent these young lawyers and law students have and will bring to politics is exciting and uplifting. #LawFedi
