Freedom House
Freedom House

Freedom House is an independent watchdog organization that supports the expansion of freedom around the world. Freedom House supports democratic change, monitors freedom, and advocates for democracy and human rights. Since its founding in 1941 by prominent Americans concerned with the mounting threats to peace and democracy, Freedom House has been a vigorous proponent of democratic values and a steadfast opponent of dictatorships of the far left and the far right. Eleanor Roosevelt and Wendell Willkie served as Freedom House’s first honorary co-chairpersons. Throughout its history, Freedom House has opposed tyranny around the world, including dictatorships in Latin America, apartheid in South Africa, Soviet domination of Central and Eastern Europe, and religiously-based totalitarian regimes such as those governing Sudan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Freedom House has promoted the growth of freedom by encouraging U.S. policymakers, international institutions, and the governments of established democracies to adopt policies that advance human rights and democracy around the world. At the same time, Freedom House provides support to individuals working in the world's young democracies to overcome debilitating legacies of tyranny, dictatorship, and political repression; as well as to activists working in repressive societies to bring about greater freedom and openness. Freedom House translates the intangible values of freedom into a strong tangible impact by combining analysis, advocacy, and action.

The Human Rights Campaign serves as America's largest civil rights organization working to achieve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer equality. By inspiring and engaging individuals and communities, HRC strives to end discrimination against LGBTQ people and realize a world that achieves fundamental fairness and equality for all. The Human Rights Campaign envisions a world where Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer people are ensured equality and embraced as full members of society at home, at work, and in every community. The Human Rights Campaign and Human Rights Campaign Foundation exist to create a world where Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) people in all of our intersecting identities realize systemic equality, equity, and liberation in all aspects of life. We approach everything we do through a lens of inclusion and racial equity because our work cannot be completed until the most marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community have achieved equality. Through the values we live day-to-day, our benefits package, as well as a hybrid work environment, we hope you will become a part of this movement. Some of our benefit offerings include: - 3 weeks of vacation initially, 4 personal days, and 12 sick leave days per year with additional leave for all federal holidays - Access to health, dental, vision, FSA, HSA, and life insurance - Mental health partnerships - Fertility and adoption coverage with some HRC-provided yearly funds - Pet insurance - Hybrid work environment (2 days in the office and 3 days work from home) - Tuition reimbursement - the full amount allowed by the federal government each year - Great opportunities for professional and personal development

Justice
Justice

Justice is a cross-party law reform and human rights organisation working to strengthen the justice system – administrative, civil and criminal – in the United Kingdom. We are a membership organisation, composed largely of legal professionals, ranging from law students to the senior judiciary. Our vision is of fair, accessible and efficient legal processes, in which the individual’s rights are protected, and which reflect the country’s international reputation for upholding and promoting the rule of law. We contribute to achieving our vision by: • Providing evidence-based analysis and proposing practical solutions to law-makers, judges and relevant public servants. • Strengthening the UK law and legal processes by reference to international and comparative best practice, looking across jurisdictions, across types of law and across the legal profession. • Using the expertise of our membership to strengthen our understanding of the challenges arising in legal practice and of possible solutions, working with them to execute our vision. Justice is at the heart of issues that will shape the future legal landscape. We promote access to justice, human rights and the rule of law – through research, education and interventions in the courts. For more than 50 years we have been at the cutting edge of the debate on legal reform and are widely respected for the quality of our analysis. We are the UK branch of the International Commission of Jurists. Justice is a registered charity (No 1058580). We rely on the generosity of our members and supporters for the funds to carry out our work.
