“There is no region in the world that attracts more people to serve the cause of justice in government, philanthropy, academia, military service, and the private sector than Washington. In fact, D.C.’s official city motto is ‘Justitia Omnibus,’ which translates to ‘Justice for All’,” Ein said in a statement. “As a team representing the broader DMV region, it was important that our team identity reflects a value that unifies all of our community members, representing the full diversity of backgrounds and beliefs.”

Courage, honor, loyalty, sacrifice. But most important is justice ⚖️
