GSU COL Pro Bono Program

The Southern Poverty Law Center is looking for volunteers to provide immediate assistance during early voting, on election day, and during the cure period. Volunteers would be working to ensure that issues escalated by the Election Protection call centers are adequately addressed by attorneys.

Volunteers will be culling the database from the call centers and following up on voting rights issues to resolve them or help the attorneys get more information if a legal action may be required.

For anyone who is available and interested, please sign up here and then contact Poy Winichakul, Senior Staff Attorney at poy.Winichakul@splcenter.org. All volunteers will be trained.
