Human rights give us all the freedom to develop to our full potential & lead fulfilling lives. We want them fully implemented across the EU.
Together we’re making the difference
When the many put our resources together, we defeat the few who think they hold all the power. Join us to bring rights to life for all of us.
Be a part of protecting our freedoms
We have
- Created the largest fund for democracy groups in the EU
- Got new powers to cut off EU funding to autocrats
- Written new EU rules to protect journalists & campaigners from bogus lawsuits
- Trained over 400 rights defenders to supercharge the campaigns you care for
