The Restore Fairness campaign (www.restorefairness.org) calls on the U.S. government to uphold fair immigration and racial justice through compelling video documentaries, take actions and a timely blog. Our highlights include Face the Truth: Racial Profiling Across America and Restore Fairness produced in partnership with civil society and human rights groups.

Since the Declaration of Independence, America has striven to uphold fairness and due process. In the aftermath of 9-11, our country has seen a steady erosion of basic human rights. Some of our laws have been denying basic due process to thousands of people in the United States, and many policies discriminate against people on the basis of national origin, race, religion, or citizenship. Immigrants have borne the brunt of harsh policies, with the U.S. government allowing raids and arrests without warrants, holding thousands in inhumane detention conditions, and deporting people without a fair trial, while people of color continue to face racial profiling and violations as suspects, defendants, and prisoners. We shouldn’t let the government treat anyone like this because denying human rights and due process to some puts all of our freedoms at risk.
