Support the Bill of Rights Defense Committee!

The Bill of Rights Defense Committee appreciates your support and welcomes contributions of any size and any form.  Donations are fully tax deductible.

With your help, we will:

  • expand the People's Campaign for the Constitution, organizing more national affinity groups mobilizing activists within specific social or professional spheres;
  • mobilize support for concrete and enforceable local and state laws to curtail domestic intelligence collection;
  • build compelling online properties to reach target audiences with information and context about current civil liberties issues;
  • educate and inform grassroots activists around the country about opportunities to influence policymakers;
  • facilitate collaboration among coalitions of individuals in some cases, and organizations in others, to build the most effective, sustainable movement possible.

Your generosity will support BORDC's efforts to raise awareness about--and mobilize grassroots action supporting--the liberty and privacy interests that once united our nation across the political spectrum. National security policies including surveillance, detention, torture, and secrecy continue to undermine our nation's constitutional values, and will continue to drive a false consensus in Washington until an engaged, active, and diverse movement emerges to challenge it. BORDC stands on the front line of the struggle to build that movement, and invites you to join us in our compelling work.

"BORDC is political organizing at its best. It gives ordinary people concrete ways to get involved in the struggle for justice in the wake of 9/11. It deserves our support."
