Civil rights priorities
We protect and advance civil rights to ensure equitable opportunities and fair protection under the law.
We expose and challenge discriminatory and unlawful policing practices, inhumane treatment of asylum seekers, and harsh conditions in youth detention. We advocate for the proven alternatives to detention and incarceration that will make our communities safer.
We work collaboratively with people and communities affected by injustice and discrimination, to protect their rights, drive law and policy reform and build community power.
