Advocates for Citizens’ Rights (AFCR) is a California non-profit corporation dedicated to protecting individual’s civil liberties and privacy rights. AFCR believes that all Americans have a fundamental right to the freedoms guaranteed by the United States Constitution and to basic human rights. The AFCR team is committed to safeguarding these rights, and defending said freedoms against unjust state action, and unwarranted infringements by government.
Our mission is to ensure that both individual state actors and governments act in a way that comports with state and federal constitutions and law. When a government attempts to violate people’s fundamental rights through unconstitutional executive orders, or via legislation or mandates or court opinions, AFCR acts to bring awareness to these issues – and further – coordinate litigation to challenge such unauthorized state action.

Protect
We protect the civil liberties and basic human rights of people. At base, we believe that all citizens have a fundamental right to free speech, to worship, to movement, to peaceably assemble, to petition the government, to bear arms, to remain not enslaved, and to equality. We bring awareness to government encroachment into such basic rights, as well as coordinating legal defense for individuals harmed from such actions.
Our Values
TRUTH
We are true to our calling.
“First, do no harm.”
—Hippocrates
JUSTICE
We combat injustice because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
—Martin Luther King
ACTION
We speak – always we speak – because we understand history
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemoller
