this is 2016 advice in my opinion (though i certainly agree it was true before now, especially as someone vocal on issues like palestine while employed - caveating it works differently for white people). but the toolkit is for current students. that's not their timeline.

also, i hear someone is emailing the toolkit around from an external gmail and it’s getting deleted from inboxes within 15 minutes.
as i’ve said before, i didn’t realize it was possible for me to think jeremy london was more of a loser than i did off meeting him irl but wow sometimes i AM wrong

law students/non-lawyers, we’ll have some asks for you coming, too. if you want them straight to your inbox as we build out the organizing infrastructure, you can sign up at bit.ly/RachelCohenContact. full toolkit at bit.ly/donotrecruit.
we can do this, be well—

you can tell your employer why you aren’t recruiting or interviewing, if you’d like. after all, why would you encourage people to come work at a place that so clearly doesn’t care about them? but you can also just politely decline. these activities aren’t billable. you’re busy.

to that end: please find attached/below a toolkit for biglaw associates, particularly at EEOC demand letter firms, to respond to this absolute spinelessness in a less drastic way than i did! we’re requesting associates refuse to participate in recruiting activities, including interviews.
