Security or human rights? We believe you can’t have one without the other.

Too often since 9/11, states have used concerns about terrorism as an excuse to crack down on rights – from women in Saudi Arabia seeking to drive and journalists like Nobel Peace Laureate Maria Ressa reporting on extrajudicial killings in the Philippines to non-violent protesters in Nigeria and Hong Kong.

The Global Center advances a different vision of counterterrorism that puts human rights front and center. We build the evidence base to prove it works, deliver training to the people - from prison officers to high court judges - who will make it happen, form coalitions to scale these changes on the ground, and amplify the perspectives of affected populations.

Our work has never been more important – or more at risk. Help us build a vision for human security that puts communities first:

• $250 is the cost of providing a grassroots organization access to online tools to counter violent extremist narratives
• $1,000 is the cost of sending one youth leader to address the United Nations – giving voice to the next generation on one of the biggest stages in world politics
• $2,500 is the cost of translating a human rights training manual into a different language
• $10,000 is the cost of a training for a community organization that promotes alternatives to violence
• $20,000 is the cost of bringing together municipal leaders for a peer-to-peer workshop on eradicating hate in their cities

As our communities and politics feel ever more divided, the work of the Global Center becomes more vital every day. Please join us today.
