2022-2023 Pro Bono Program Review

SPOTLIGHT ON:

Leah Godesky

The ACLU honored Leah Godesky as its first Pro Bono Attorney of the Year in 2022

Pro bono is a constant reminder of our role as attorneys and our obligation to give back to the larger community. Much of my pro bono work is focused on issues of reproductive justice, and I’m very proud of the way our attorneys collaborate so effectively with the fearless advocates at organizations like the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project and the Center for Reproductive Rights. This work is extraordinarily challenging in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, but we’re committed to the fight.

Pro bono work is a tremendous source of energy.

The network helps individuals access abortion care across state lines and guides healthcare providers in treating out-of-state patients. By fostering connections and sharing expertise, the Abortion Defense Network removes barriers to reproductive care access.
