Philanthropic Phriday 50: Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

This week, I have thrown my support behind the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a legal advocacy organization that has been very active during this pandemic:

I've long been disturbed by how there seems to be one law for the privileged and another for the disadvantaged. These inequities in access to justice come into sharp focus during a public health crisis like Covid-19.

Many people see a contradiction between my libertarian streak and my overall leanings towards left-wing causes but to me, individual personal freedoms need not be at odds with the centralization of power or discretion over issues of common concern. But that's beyond the scope of today's post and indeed could be the subject of a whole long-running series!
