Independence Institute: Policy Centers and Projects
 | School Choice for Kids: SchoolChoiceforKids.org (available in English and en Español) is a one-stop shop that assists Colorado parents in locating a suitable school for their child and provides user-friendly explanations to simplify the steps of the open enrollment process. Site users can search among all the public schools of the state according to the distance from a specified address and narrowed by any one of 47 categories—including various programs, schedules, services, and other characteristics. The site also provides information on homeschooling, online education, college, preschool, and non-public schools. |  | Education Policy Center: The Education Policy Center is an advocate for school choice, school accountability, and teachers' rights. |  | Health Care Policy Center: The federal and state bureaucracies have created problems in our health care system; the Rocky Mountain Health Care Center proposes free-market alternatives to solve those problems. |  | Second Amendment Project: The Second Amendment Project, under the direction of Dave Kopel, studies the legal precedents, news and opinions in Colorado and the United States to provide the Constitutional perspective on topics ranging from legal reform to gun rights. |  | Campus Accountability Project: The Campus Accountability Project was created in 2003 and was designed with a two-fold purpose: first, to serve as an educational resource on free speech, academic freedom, and racial discrimination in higher education, and second, to operate as a watch dog - actively working to ensure that universities observe and protect the individual rights of faculty, staff, and students. |  | Center for the American Dream: We at the Center for the American Dream do not advocate that people drive everywhere or take public transit, live in low-density suburbs or high-density urban centers. All of these are legitimate lifestyles. We do oppose coercive planning efforts that attempt to engineer lifestyles through subsidies, regulation, and limits on personal and economic freedom. |  | Fiscal Policy Center: Under the direction of Penn Pfiffner, the Fiscal Policy Center works to defend TABOR and to find a balance between taxation and liberty. |  | Property Rights Project: The Independence Institute's Property Rights Project was established in 2005 to serve as a community resource on land use issues—including but not limited to—eminent domain abuse, zoning regulations, and historical designations. |  | Justice Policy Initiative: Justice Policy Initiative Director Mike Krause researches the consequences of statewide criminal justice policies and practices on the Colorado budget, in particular how policy impacts prison spending, law enforcement priorties and the lives and liberties of Coloradoans. |  | Liberty Project: The Liberty project funds general research and outreach of the Independence Institute as a whole. Through a variety of publications and public forums, the Institute provides citizens of Colorado and the nation with specific recommendations to help resolve important issues facing our communities. These issues include improving our educational system, containing health-care costs, widening economic freedom, and controlling violent crime. |
