In the first paragraph of the article it mentions pro bono attorneys - there may not be much pro bono to it because as I understand - there is a law and I don't know the number that says if a law suit is filed in a civil rights matter the person being sued has to pay the legal fees of the person that sued them.

Company A fires someone because they won't bath before they come to work - ACLU sues in the 9th Circus Court on the behalf of "Stinky" and wins then Company A has to pay Stinkys legal fees plus damages or whatever 9th Circus Court awards Stinky because of hurt feelings

I guess it is only pro bono if Stinky looses and is instructed to bath from here on
