By joining IJ with your support, you will give hope to countless Americans and secure the constitutional freedoms guaranteed to us all.

That is the foundational premise of IJ’s strategic public interest litigation. And the past year demonstrated once again the power of our approach.

We scored 72 incredible victories across each of our mission areas. We set the terms of the debate through our pioneering research and communications work. We launched a nationwide activism campaign aimed at reducing barriers for small businesses from coast to coast.

Indeed, every week at IJ seems to come with more good news for freedom, and this past week was no different. Just since last Tuesday, we:

• Scored a decisive victory for property owners in Wilmington, North Carolina, by striking down a discriminatory lottery system that restricted how residents could use their property.

• Launched a sweeping class action challenge against Brookside, Alabama’s predatory roadside shakedown scheme.

• Partnered with an innocent New York woman to vindicate the fundamental principle that no one should have their life savings seized by government without getting their day in court.

• Made it easier for transportation entrepreneurs to open taxi or other ride-sharing businesses in Watertown, South Dakota—just by threatening to deploy our litigation arsenal.

These successes join hundreds of other incremental changes IJ has initiated to build a momentum that is undeniable. That momentum has shaped the rule of law and expanded freedom for families, aspiring entrepreneurs, property owners, and countless others who have broken the shackles of government overreach to achieve their dreams.

I ask you to stand with us as we charge forward in the coming year. With your support, we will breathe new life into constitutional protections that guard the freedoms we hold most dear.

Please join IJ with a gift today.
