ABOUT US.

We unite military veterans in fighting for a new purpose: dignity and human rights.  Our mission is to bring to affect a world where basic human rights are respected and guaranteed to everyone.

HOW WE OPERATE

We are a grass-roots collective made up of city-based teams. We engage the public about issues, work to hold government leaders accountable, and stand up projects to care for our most marginalized communities and rally the resources required to support them.

WHAT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person throughout the world from birth until death–regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. They are the pre-condition of a just society. They transcend political ideologies, keep us safe, and allow us to thrive as individuals and communities.

We look to the human rights declared in the Universal Declaration on Human Rights as a basic standard to hold countries to that are not fortunate enough to have constitutional laws that protect the basic rights and freedoms of the people. In countries where human rights are protected by law, such as “The Bill of Rights” in the United States, it is those rights we work to uphold.

In a time when democracy is in decline and trust has been lost in our most critical institutions, we focus on initiatives that ensure the survival of our most fundamental human rights: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, Freedom to Assemble, Right to Privacy, Right to Due Process, and Right to Security of Person.
