Protection AND Support
for Those Under Fire
WHY BEACON
Participating in your community shouldn’t come with a target on your back
Coordinated attacks on individuals and organizations in civil society have surged. From physical threats and legal intimidation to online harassment and digital intrusion, these attacks often come without warning and escalate quickly. Navigating these layered threats can overwhelm the most capable leaders, turning response into a full-time burden.
What WE DO
Beacon helps you stay engaged AND protected
Beacon provides free, high-touch support for individuals and organizations facing the most extreme attacks due to their civic participation. Beacon assembles and manages tailored crisis response to navigate escalating combinations of legal, reputational, digital and physical threats unfolding in high-risk, high-speed situations.
Why It Matters
You shouldn’t have to stand alone
When individuals and institutions are targeted for doing the civic work that powers a democracy, it affects us all. Beacon exists to make sure people don’t have to choose between safety and participation. By standing alongside those under threat, we help keep civil society strong, active, and resilient.
