The Institute for Justice is dedicated to protecting the right of every American to own and use his or her property freely. Respecting the right of private property is essential to a just and prosperous society. But government at all levels—local, state and federal—routinely infringe on these rights.
Thanks to our litigation and activism efforts, we have saved more than 16,000 properties from the abuse of eminent domain, and we're fighting to save even more.
