Immediately after assuming office, the Trump administration announced its policy priorities and agenda in a series of cruel, brazenly overreaching executive orders that recklessly disregard human rights and the rule of law. The Trump team’s pardoning of violent extremists, dismantling of protections for LGBTQI+ people, and plans to misuse the military and terrorize immigrants, demonstrate a shocking willingness to assert unfettered power at the expense of justice, equality, and dignity. For nearly five decades, Human Rights First has stood against such abuses of authority, whether perpetrated by foreign governments or our own, and we remain resolute in our commitment to stand up for human rights in the face of this unprecedented onslaught.

Now, we’re calling on those who share our commitment to join us in safeguarding these essential principles. With your support, we will stand against attempts to limit freedoms, protect the rights of asylum seekers, and fight to uphold democratic ideals and institutions worldwide. 

Together, we can ensure the United States remains a global leader in justice and dignity for all people. By signing up, you join a movement to defend democracy, preserve civil liberties, and secure a future where human rights remain protected. Take action with us and volunteer today.
