On November 1, 2, 5, and 6, Simpson Thacher hosted a national call center for Election Protection, the nation's largest non-partisan voter protection coalition. At the call center, over 250 volunteers, including Simpson Thacher partners, associates, paralegals, alumni, and future summer associates, answered calls from all over the country and provided voters with comprehensive voter information. Nationally, the Election Protection effort answered almost 90,000 calls on Election Day. Over 5,600 of these calls were answered at STB. The call center leadership included partners Victoria Bjorklund and John Ericson, associates Lisa Freeman and John Bennett and pro bono counsel Harlene Katzman. Staff from the facilities, IT and conference services departments provided invaluable support.
