California Justice Center
California Policy Center launched the California Justice Center to restore citizen control of government in line with constitutional principles. For too long, California’s majority-party and unelected bureaucrats have used their power to enact laws and regulations that have destroyed small businesses, undermined our schools, and infringed on the rights of Californians. CPC recognized the need for a state-based legal effort to return California government to its rightful role: serving the people, not controlling their lives.
The California Justice Center was launched in 2024 with the help of generous CPC supporters. If you are interested in helping the Justice Center advance its mission, contact Jackson Reese at jackson@calpolicycenter.org or donate online here.
