WHAT WE DO

We firmly believe in the core duty to pass on to the next generations a country in which justice and freedom do reign. And we decided to work for it in the forums where they first and foremost must prevail: our republican institutions. This entails litigation, education, and broad support to various other endeavors that fit our mission. Without justice, a free life becomes a chimera. And without freedom, there is no justice.
