About Us
Our Mission
We seek to increase constitutional engagement at all levels, from the individual citizen to the highest office of government.
We believe that everyone should be made aware of the fundamental rights granted to them by the Constitution and civil rights laws. View our Know Your Rights handouts to learn what your rights are, how to access them and what to do when they are violated.
