Human Rights First (formerly known as the Lawyers Committee for International Human Rights[1]) is a nonpartisan, 501(c)(3),[2] international human rights organization based in New York City, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.[3] Its work centers on four main issue areas: authoritarianism, extremism, systemic injustice and the abuse of technology. It closely works with lawyers, veterans and security experts, technologists, and allied advocates to further its policy agenda. In 2004, it launched an "End Torture Now" campaign.[4] The organization also runs the Fighting Discrimination program which focuses on hate crimes.[citation needed]
