I look forward to working with all of you to advance our mission and to stand up for the principles our organization holds dear: the rule of law, equal justice for all, judicial independence, and women's rights--which include reproductive rights. ~ Lissett Costa Ferreira Click here to read the President's Message from the most recent newsletter.
