Making IJ a Household Name on the Net
There is an old expression: Show me your friends, and I’ll show you who you are.
If that proverb is true, then IJ is a growing force for freedom, and we have the social media friends, followers and fans to prove it. The Institute’s expanded presence on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other social media websites will mean not only that IJ can keep you better informed about our latest and greatest, but that you will be able to interact with the Institute more effectively to let us know how we are doing, guide us to new opportunities and share our message of freedom with your online friends. The more people hear our messages, the more effectively we can share our vision for a more free and just America.
What this means for you
Whether we’re arguing in court or in the court of public opinion, we can keep you updated on our battles to protect individual rights. Our Facebook page connects you with other likeminded people who believe in fighting for freedom The IJ Way. Following us on Twitter takes you to the frontlines with 140-character updates throughout the day. When you subscribe to IJ’s YouTube channel, you will be among the first to watch our cutting-edge videos that personalize, humanize and dramatize IJ’s stories. Our RSS feed (short for “really simple subscription”) delivers articles that can include ij.org’s latest updates, institutional op-eds and many other news items from the Merry Band of Litigators.
