ABOUT US

We're Taking on the Big Fights.

We fight for the constitutional rights of American families, workers, advocates, and entrepreneurs.

We challenge some of the biggest threats to liberty across the country, taking on issues ranging from free speech to federal government overreach, educational freedom, and more. When Americans’ rights are threatened, we fight back with smart legal strategies to build the America we seek to preserve for ourselves, our families, and our future.

We take on these fights without ever charging our clients a dime—even if it means taking their case all the way to the Supreme Court, like we did for Mark Janus in Janus v. AFSCME, a landmark case where we restored the rights of government employees to choose whether to join a union. We invite you to learn more and join our fight.

We urgently need YOUR help to get transparency from the Chicago Teachers Union.

The Chicago Teachers Union’s bylaws state that it is to share an audit with its members every year—but they’ve failed to do so for the past four years. We believe that the union must uphold its obligations and that members deserve to know where their money is going. 

To fight for transparency and accountability for the 25,000 educators across Chicago who rely on the union to keep its commitments, we filed the lawsuit Weiss v. Chicago Teachers Union on behalf of four Chicago teachers. As always, we represent our clients free of charge, so we need your help to continue the fight.
