America's Lawyers on Voting and the Rule of Law: Nine Principles – Sign the Pledge

I am thrilled to support my dear friend, @Sheila Boston, and the @New York City Bar, in signing this pledge for voting rights and the rule of law. Please read below and sign with me.

Voting rights lie at the core of our American democracy, and legal professionals are uniquely suited to preserve and promote those rights in service to the rule of law. Strong voting rights mean that all eligible voters are encouraged and able to vote in free and fair elections, and that those elections are administered in a nonpartisan manner before, during and after the voting.

The New York City Bar Association’s commitment to these facts, and the attacks against them occurring in many states, have led us to author Nine Principles for America’s Lawyers, and to provide an opportunity for legal professionals of good conscience and whatever political leaning to come together and reaffirm a core set of rapidly-eroding democratic values.

We invite you, our members, to be among the first to sign this pledge in support of the Nine Principles, and to join the City Bar in lifting the voices of our colleagues around the country.

Thanks, 

Sheila S. Boston President

New York City Bar Association
