Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) was proud to join Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) and local and national climate justice leaders at an Environmental Justice Roundtable hosted at the Greater New Orleans Foundation. The discussion focused on recent harmful Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decisions—including the termination of federal grant awards and the rollback of critical environmental protections—and how we can continue to push environmental justice forward under the Trump Administration.
Today, Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) is proud to launch the Pro Bono Litigation Corps (PBLC)—a first-of-its-kind initiative mobilizing experienced attorneys to take on some of the most pressing constitutional challenges of our time.
As we commemorate the two-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) today, August 16, there is much to celebrate about this historic legislation. The IRA represents the largest-ever climate investment in our country’s history, creating unprecedented opportunities for clean energy savings.
However, we at L4GG are acutely aware that historically marginalized communities often lack the resources to access the IRA’s historic funding opportunities. In response, we have intensified our efforts over the past two years to ensure that the benefits of the IRA reach those who need them most. See what we’ve been up to!
Not enough people are talking about the water crisis in Jackson, MS. On Tuesday, the Mississippi governor declared a state of emergency for Jackson’s water system, the city’s largest treatment plant. Most of the city’s 150,000 residents are without running water, having to rely on bottled water for drinking, showering, brushing their teeth, and cooking.
In the past month, L4GG’s work has been featured in multiple major media outlets—highlighting the fight to defend the rule of law, protect climate policy, and hold our government accountable. These stories make one thing clear: our legal community has never been more vital.
As the Trump Administration attempts to bypass Congress, defy court orders, and dismantle climate and environmental protections, L4GG is mobilizing lawyers to push back against executive overreach and defend our democracy.
Over the past two years, we have worked with grantees to ensure they remain in compliance with federal, state, and local funding regulations. Now, we are witnessing firsthand the devastating impact of ongoing federal funding freezes on nonprofits, Tribal organizations, and under-resourced communities. Despite clear legal obligations—and in some cases, direct court orders—federal agencies continue to delay payments, block access to grant portals, and ignore grantees’ urgent requests for information. These funding disruptions are causing real, irreparable harm: organizations are shutting down programs, laying off workers, and struggling to continue essential services.
Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), a nationwide nonprofit organization supported by a network of more than 125,000 lawyers and advocates in all 50 states, strongly opposes the nomination of Pamela Jo Bondi to serve as Attorney General of the United States. Our opposition stems from three critical concerns: 1) her demonstrated pattern of subordinating constitutional duties to Donald Trump's personal interests; 2) her troubling record of undermining civil rights; and 3) her active participation in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), born in the wake of the 2016 election and representing a network of over 125,000 attorneys nationwide, strongly opposes the nomination of Russell Vought to Direct the Office of Management and Budget. Our opposition is based on three critical concerns: 1) his documented pattern of violating the Constitution and the law; 2) his planned harm to communities; and 3) his clear intention to transfer congressional power to the executive branch.
Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), born in the wake of the 2016 election and representing a network of over 125,000 attorneys nationwide, strongly condemns President Trump's recently announced executive orders that threaten constitutional rights, environmental protections, and equal rights under the law and calls on attorneys across the country to join them in defending those rights.
At Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG), we are privileged to highlight volunteers who are strong in their dedication to advancing justice. This month, we recognize Lindsay Polega for her exceptional work in reproductive rights advocacy. Through her involvement with the League of Women Voters (LWV), the Jane Network, and pro bono cases protecting access to reproductive health clinics, Lindsay has become a vital force in Florida’s fight for reproductive justice.
