Rachel Cohen quit Skadden after it pledged $100M to support Trump. She said, “The firm is on wrong side of history.” 80+ alumni agreed. Law students canceled events in protest. These aren’t small gestures. They’re risking their futures to defend the soul of democracy. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/02/nx-s1-5383195/trump-targets-new-law-firm
Abbe Lowell just launched a new firm to defend people targeted by Trump’s DOJ. His team includes lawyers who quit in protest from Skadden and Winston & Strawn. They’re not just practicing law—they’re drawing a line. Saying: we won’t be used. We won’t legitimize corruption.
These Trump prosecutions aren’t justice—they’re vengeance. Civil servants, regulators, and public defenders are being smeared and investigated for doing their jobs. This is a test of whether law will serve power—or protect people. These lawyers are choosing the people.
Litigation isn’t just costly—it’s soul-crushing. Trump’s team knows that. It’s part of the strategy: financially and emotionally break the people who stand in his way. That’s why we must ask: can we help fund the defense? Can we shoulder some of the weight they carry?
Let’s be clear: this is about collective survival. It’s easier to fight as a group than alone. If we want truth to matter, if we want institutions to endure, we must support the people defending them. Donate if you can. Share their story if you can’t. Just don’t stay silent.
