The Task Force https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_interest/election_law/american-democracy/ was created in August 2023, spent a year at its work, and issued an August 2024 Report, which can be found at Task Force for American Democracy (americanbar.org).
The activities which are sought to be catalyzed include Alabama lawyers (i) reading the August 2024 report, (ii) having conversations among themselves about the Report, (iii) communicating to non-lawyers about the Report such as to the Alabama business community, (iv) ttrying to inform the Alabama public about the Report including by reaching out to Alabama TV stations and other media and (v) communicating to lawyers in other states.
If there are Alabama lawyers who are moved to form an Alabama Lawyers For Trump Vance group, that would likely help in generating the desired conversations.
If other Alabama lawyers are moved to try to participate in the desired conversations in neutral way, as was originally solicited of the Alabama legal profession but for which no receptivity was found per Be An Alabama Rootstriker* with Rob Shattuck: Interim Alabama report to ABA Task Force for American Democracy (al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com)), that too would be great.

Subject: AL Lawyers For Harris Walz and ABA Task Force For American Democracy
Dear Alabama lawyers,
With 30 days to go in the election, I am trying to organize an Alabama Lawyers For Harris Walz group for the purpose of trying to catalyze activities by Alabama lawyers in support of the mission of the American Bar Association Task Force For American Democracy. https://al4bidenharrisjones.blogspot.com/2024/10/alabama-lawyers-for-harris-walz.html.
The Task Force (https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_interest/election_law/american-democracy/) was created in August 2023, spent a year at its work, and issued an August 2024 Report, which can be found at https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/news/2024/aba-democracy-task-force.pdf.
The activities by Alabama lawyers which are sought to be catalyzed include (i) reading the August 2024 report, (ii) having conversations among themselves related to the Report, (iii) communicating to non-lawyers related to the Report such as to the Alabama business community, (iv) trying to inform the Alabama public related to the Report including by reaching out to Alabama TV stations and other Alabama media, and (v) communicating to lawyers in other states.
If there are Alabama lawyers who are moved to form an Alabama Lawyers For Trump Vance group, that would likely help in generating the desired conversations.
If other Alabama lawyers are moved to try to participate in the desired conversations in neutral way, as was originally solicited of the Alabama legal profession, but for which no receptivity was found per https://al6thcongdist-ihaveuntiljan13.blogspot.com/2024/02/interim-alabama-report-to-aba-task.html, that too would be great.
Thank you for your attention to this email.
