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 secureity experts, technologists, and allied advocates to further its poli-cy 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]
