Lantos Foundation for Human Rights & Justice

The Lantos Foundation for Human Rights & Justice was established to carry on Congressman Tom Lantos’ proud legacy as a leading advocate for American engagement in human rights globally. We seek to advance human rights and justice by advocating for the United States and other democratic nations to prioritize these fundamental rights for all global citizens, through campaigns and initiatives designed to raise awareness about key human rights challenges, and by supporting and empowering those on the frontlines of human rights struggles. We focus our work in four key areas as we strive to, in Tom’s words, “carry the noble banner of human rights to every corner of the world”.
