Mission Statement
Defending Rights & Dissent strengthens our participatory democracy by protecting the right to political expression.
About This Cause
Our Vision and Values We work to make the promise of the Bill of Rights a reality for everyone in the US. Our Activities We seek to hold government accountable to We the People and create a nation where police and intelligence agencies cannot be used as tools of repression or to silence dissent. Our work will ensure government accountability and transparency, end profiling based on personal characteristics (such as race, religion, ideology or gender) by law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and will protect our private information and activities from unwarranted government spying. We build connections across identities and ideologies to expose patterns of government repression. We support local coalitions challenging repression and organizing to protect constitutional rights, offering leadership, training, tools and resources to support our grassroots partners. We connect grassroots activist to national policy debates, following principle, not political expediency or compromise to advocate for transformative reform. We monitor and gather evidence of unconstitutional, illegal, unethical and undemocratic government tactics to illustrate how a variety of movements and people are targeted. We empower and give voice to grassroots activists and movements by highlighting stories of resistance. As a grassroots advocacy organization wielding limited resources, Defending Rights & Dissent is not in a position to offer individual legal advice or representation.
