"The nation’s largest federation of unions has put together a pro bono legal network that aims to help federal employees whose jobs have been lost or threatened under the Trump administration.

More than 1,000 lawyers in 42 states have completed training in order to offer their services, organizers said. The new pro bono group — called Rise Up: Federal Workers Legal Defense Network, which is expected to be formally introduced on Wednesday — was formed by the A.F.L.-C.I.O. along with several other unions and civil rights groups, including We The Action, a network that connects lawyers with nonprofits, Democracy Forward, which has been leading legal action against the Trump administration, and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights."
