As a nonprofit that frequently sues the federal government, EFF understands that an independent legal profession is a fundamental component of democracy and the rule of law. That, and 1st Amendment rights more broadly, are threatened by executive orders targeting law firms.

It is especially important that the whole legal profession speak out against the executive orders in light of the capitulation by a few large law firms.
