At RyanHearn.org, we’re dedicated to advocating for justice and providing you with valuable information to help you stay informed and take action. Below are some trusted organizations and tools that offer additional support and insights related to the causes we care about.

Advocacy and Social Justice

The fight for civil rights and social justice is ongoing, and many organizations are at the forefront of this battle. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) works tirelessly to defend and preserve the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. Similarly, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and seeks justice for the most vulnerable in our society.

For those particularly interested in the rights and welfare of children, the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) provides a strong voice for all children, especially those who are marginalized. Additionally, the Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) advances the civil rights of people with disabilities through legal advocacy, training, and public policy reform.

Criminal Justice Reform

Criminal justice reform is critical to ensuring fairness and equity in our legal system. The Innocence Project plays a crucial role in this area, working to exonerate the wrongfully convicted through DNA testing and advocating for broader reforms to prevent future injustices. Meanwhile, the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) provides legal representation to those who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or mistreated in state jails and prisons, helping to create a more just and equitable society.

Environmental and Consumer Protection

Protecting our environment and ensuring consumer rights are both essential to a healthy society. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) focuses on solving environmental problems through practical and legal solutions. On the consumer front, the Consumer Federation of America (CFA) advocates for the rights of consumers, working to ensure a fair and safe marketplace for all.

Healthcare and Patient Rights

Access to healthcare and the protection of patient rights are vital issues that affect everyone. The National Patient Advocate Foundation (NPAF) is committed to advancing access to affordable, quality healthcare for those with chronic, debilitating, or life-threatening illnesses. Additionally, Doctors Without Borders provides critical medical care in crisis situations around the world, advocating for healthcare access regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation.
