As described in a series of “Proskauer For Good” blog posts, Proskauer has partnered with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law since 2006 to help lead the non-partisan Election Protection hotline (866-Our-Vote), part of a national initiative to ensure that the right to vote is afforded equally to all.

Voting in the Pandemic: New Challenges and Solutions to Ensure Safe Access to the Ballot
By Erin Meyer & Karina Pantoja on
On June 1 and 2, more than 45 volunteers across Proskauer’s US offices assisted voters in exercising their right to vote through a virtual Election Protection call center in partnership with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The Election Protection project strives to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to participate in the voting process, regardless of political affiliation.
While Proskauer has proudly hosted Election Protection call centers in its offices over the past decade, operating the call center for the state primary elections this year was uniquely challenging, and all-the-more important, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
