But WHAT exactly are they protesting?

“This is an opportunity for the legal community to express our solidarity with the growing movements against the new regime and its white supremacist agenda.”

OK

"In the spirit of women and their allies coming together for love and liberation, we offer A Day Without A Woman.”

Er, OK then...

effort to build toward a one-week strike of five to eight million workers to demand respect and dignity for all undocumented people living in the United States.

AHHHH!!! The legal profession is going to protest in FAVOUR of people who break the law every fucking day of their lives!!

“We're sponsoring and participating in Friday's action because lawyers, like everyone else, need to be counted upon to stand up to any and all illegal actions of this and future presidencies,”

So the legal profession is planning on striking FOR illegal immigrants and against Trumps illegal actions....

Oh, that makes sense!

We are horrified to see how many human rights are under attack by the current administration

Citation needed? Like WHAT exactly? Trying to enforce the law of the land?

I have asked this question before.... If you have sanctuary cities for illegals, can we please have some sanctuary for murderers? Rapists? I mean where do you draw the line?

We are desperately and deeply disturbed by the Muslim ban

For a bunch of lawyers they do not seem to understand that it is NOT a Muslim ban....

the crackdown on immigrants

Oops they seem to have missed the word illegal as in illegal immigrants..

Since Trump assumed office, legal workers have taken to the streets to observe protest

How brave of them!

Some say coordinated action is essential because much of the legal community is complicit in the federal government's abuses.

Citation needed? What abuses?

"so much of the harm and oppression our communities face is perpetrated and held by lawyers, judges and lawmakers.”

Hmmm

"We know that the liberation of trans, gender non-conforming and intersex people, particularly those of us who are low income and/or of color will never come from these systems,”

Huh?

There Is a Growing Movement Across the Legal Community to Plan a Nationwide Walkout Against Trump | Alternet

"Gehi emphasized, “I feel that legal organizations have stepped up in this moment to say that they are resisting.”Some say coordinated action is essential because much of the legal community is complicit in the federal government's abuses."

'Thirty-five organizations have added their endorsement, among Law for Black Lives and the Water Protector Legal Collective, which is providing legal support for Indigenous resistance at Standing Rock. '

'Meanwhile, a coalition of feminist scholars and activists have declared March 8 an International Strike Against Male Violence and in Defense of Reproductive Rights. ', " As a legal services organization, we must constantly come back to our membership and be held accountable, just as we are calling on all individuals who are involved in these legal systems to do at Friday's action.”"

'Large-scale protests and a tangle of lawsuits have hampered its implementation from the start. '
