IJ On the Ground
This month’s episode is all about IJ’s Activism team—the grassroots advocates who empower everyday Americans to fight government abuse in their own backyard. Scott explores how the activism program began after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Kelo, what a typical campaign looks like, and how the team collaborates with attorneys, legislators, and local groups to move laws and protect liberty.
