Title
Bill of Rights Defense Committee
Description
Founded in November 2001, the Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) is helping hundreds of communities across the country participate in an ongoing national debate about civil liberties and antiterrorism legislation that threaten liberties, such as the USA PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security Act, and several federal executive orders. As the Northampton (MA) Bill of Rights Defense Committee, we engaged in public education and debate about antiterrorism legislation and the Bill of Rights and worked with the Northampton (MA) city council on a resolution to protect those rights, which the council passed unanimously. We have used our web site to document similar efforts, and to provide information, materials, and assistance to other groups.
The BORDC's mission is to promote, organize, and support a diverse, effective, national grassroots movement to restore and protect civil rights and liberties guaranteed to all U.S residents by the Bill of Rights. Our purpose is to educate people about the significance of those rights in our lives; to encourage widespread participation; and to cultivate and share the organizing tools and strategies needed for people to convert their concern, outrage, and fear into debate and action to restore Bill of Rights protections.
Throughout U.S. history, and especially in times of war and other stress, the U.S. government has curtailed the rights of foreigners and those who dissent. Twentieth Century examples are COINTELPRO, HUAC, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and the Palmer Raids. Lack of public awareness, a climate of fear, and divisive government policies helped preserve COINTELPRO and HUAC for decades.
