Freedom doesn’t defend itself — people defend it. The Civil Rights & Liberty category focuses on the organizations and tools protecting the rights that authoritarians want to strip away: free speech, bodily autonomy, voting power, privacy, equality under the law — the whole democracy starter pack.
This is where we safeguard what past generations fought to secure and refuse to let extremist politicians turn back the clock. When rights are attacked, we don’t just protest — we push forward.
Because liberty isn’t a suggestion.It’s a line we will not let them cross.
