We’ve mobilized DOJ alumni to protect the Department’s workforce and the rule of law
Justice Connection is a network of DOJ alumni working to protect our former colleagues who are under attack by the current administration.
We’re providing current and recent DOJ employees with direct support, including:
- Pro bono legal representation through the Justice Connection Legal Network
- Mental health support
- Whistleblowing support
- Media training and other help for those who want to speak out
Justice Connection has also become the leading voice delivering the message that eroding DOJ makes Americans more vulnerable to violent crime, corruption and fraud, climate change, civil rights violations, and terrorism.
We’re raising public awareness in the following ways:
- Press. We’re a go-to source for information and perspectives about what’s happening at the Department, appearing in over 100 national news stories – in print, on TV, and on podcasts and the radio.
- Congress. We’ve testified at multiple congressional hearings and regularly work with members and senators to seek oversight and accountability.
- Advocacy. We’ve leveraged our alumni network in campaigns to derail Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals; stop DOJ’s degradation of the Civil Rights Division; and pressure the Department to cease issuing unethical orders to career prosecutors. We even ran an ad on Fox News, calling on President Trump to stop firing our former colleagues.
- DOJ Storytellers. We’re producing videos and social media content featuring DOJ alumni sharing personal stories about the damage being done to their former offices.
- DOJ Tracker. We’re running the only public tracker focused on recording attacks on DOJ. By countering the flood-the-zone strategy with a tool to ensure that critical events are catalogued and easily searchable, it’s become an essential resource for reporters, congressional offices, and the public.
