Activism Resources

Our goal is to provide activists around the country with the tools and strategies necessary to vindicate their constitutional rights at the grassroots level, and we travel the nation to meet with and educate concerned citizens and their communities.

Although we’re unable to litigate or become actively involved in every situation, we will provide you with the tools and tips you need to effectively fight the abuse of government power in your own backyard. We will do whatever we can to help you defend your right to earn an honest living free from arbitrary regulations, choose the school that is right for your child, keep the private property you rightfully own, and protect your right to speak freely.
