About the National Security & Human Rights Campaign
The National Security and Human Rights Campaign is working to dismantle the flawed paradigms used to justify misguided national security policies and promote in their stead progressive policies that respect human rights, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
The campaign supports organizations that are advancing the following goals:
- End the indefinite detention, torture, and extraordinary rendition of terrorism suspects.
- Reform surveillance laws and policies to restrict warrantless and unchecked surveillance and restore privacy protections at the federal, state, and local levels.
- Ensure that antiterrorism laws and law enforcement agencies do not target freedom of speech, association, or religious expression.
- End the practice of racial, ethnic, national origin, and religious profiling of Muslim, Arab, South Asian, and Middle Eastern individuals and communities and build the capacity of organizations from these communities to fight for civil rights and promote the acceptance of these communities in American society.
- Decrease government secrecy, restore strong oversight of executive action taken in the name of national security, and holding U.S. government officials and private actors to account for abuses and violations of the law.
- Build broad and sustained public and political support for progressive national security policies.
