Our vision is founded upon:

- Equal justice under law
- Expanding access to the mechanisms of democracy for all people,
opposing all efforts to restrict the right of anyone to vote, limit
access to voting, or preventing votes cast from being counted
- Acknowledging our diverse cultural history and opposing bigotry
- Respect for individual autonomy in private matters, including
sexual orientation and gender identity
- Prioritizing science and skepticism, fighting misinformation and
disinformation; and
- Separation of church and state

The Opening Arguments Foundation was formed in 2022 to promote the public understanding of the law; to counteract right-wing propaganda that misinforms people about the nature and role of the judiciary; to empower the next generation of lawyers, judges, and academics to defend progressive principles in law and justice; and to support grassroots activism and like-minded organizations working to protect us from an activist extremist judiciary.

The Opening Arguments Foundation was established to fight back against these disturbing trends,
