Your freedom and your rights are under threat - right here in the UK and across the world. Governments worldwide are imposing oppressive laws and cracking down on our freedoms, but together, we can fight back.

Like many not-for-profit organisations, we are facing new challenges due to the cost of living crisis and the aftermath of the pandemic. But our mission to protect human rights remains. Every pound you give empowers us to speak out and challenge these injustices. Your donation, however big or small, is valuable.

Please donate today and chip in to help protect human rights. Thank you.
