Civil Rights

America’s founders enshrined the inalienable rights of all people in our Constitution and Americans have fought for generations to secure and protect those rights.

Our civil rights should never be sublimated in the name of politics or security. Only by holding our government accountable to their civil rights obligations can we protect those rights for future generations and credibly speak out in support of human rights globally.
