A PLACE WHERE INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, OPPORTUNITY, AND RESPONSIBILITY REIGN BECAUSE GOVERNMENT IS LIMITED
Our Mission
To advance the constitutional ideals of liberty and justice for all Mississippians by employing an evidenced-based approach to public policy whereby we advocate for and advance real conservative ideas with policy makers, members of the media, business leaders, the academic community, and private citizens.
Our Vision
For Mississippi to be a place where entrepreneurs are free to pursue their dreams, parents are free to direct the education and upbringing of their children, citizens are free to express their conscience, government is limited, personal liberty and responsibility are treasured, free market solutions are preferred, and as many people as possible are free from dependence on government.
Our Ideals
Limited Government
The Constitution should be our guide to public policy.
Free Markets
Competition and consumer choice produce the best outcomes for individuals.
Strong Families
Strong, intact families are the wellspring of a civil society.
Individual Liberty
Individuals have the freedom to make their own personal, economic, and religious decisions.
Personal Responsibility
A requirement for individual liberty, the individual is responsible for his or her actions and outcomes.
What We Do
Policy Outreach
Use evidence based data and reasoned argument to advocate for policy changes with our elected and appointed officials and with leaders across the state in business, media, academic, and faith-based organizations of influence.
Communications
Produce timely, relevant and well-reasoned “thought leadership” commentary (op-eds in national and local media, videos, blogs, podcasts, and social media), host events for the public, give speeches, and distribute robust digital media content that informs the public debate.
Litigation
The Mississippi Justice Institute defends personal, economic, and religious liberty by ensuring that government is transparent and accountable to citizenry and that all forms of government are limited to their essential responsibilities as provided by the constitution.
