The National Security and Human Rights Campaign was launched in 2008 as a three-year campaign to dismantle the flawed paradigms used to justify current national security policies, and to promote progressive policies that respect human rights and the rule of law.
The campaign provides grantmaking and operational support to challenge torture, arbitrary detention, racial profiling, excessive government secrecy, surveillance, and other policies that have destroyed U.S. credibility as a champion of human rights and have eroded support for human rights around the world. The campaign will provide significant new resources to raise awareness, shift public attitudes, promote reform, and build the capacity of key leadership organizations to address the consequences of the U.S. government's counterterrorism policies.
