Our Mission

TODAY,almost 70 years after the Civil Rights Movement began,
there is an urgent need to reaffirm and advance its core principles:

To insist on our common humanity.
To recognize that we are all entitled to equality under the law.
To advance Martin Luther King Jr.'s guiding principle that we all be judged
by the content of our character, not the color of our skin.

That's where FAIR comes in.

FAIRis a multi-discipline, nonpartisan organization dedicated to
defending civil rights and liberties and promoting a common culture
based on fairness, understanding, and humanity. As an advocate for
open discourse and debate, FAIR is committed to celebrating our shared
interests and values and advancing Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of
equality for all—without exception.

Our Programs

FAIR in the Arts provides grants and other funding for artists, curates events to help artists establish supportive relationships, and develops a professional network of advisors, institutions, and enterprises to support artists facing intolerance.

FAIR in Education delivers information for teachers and administrators to create healthy school environments, develops pro-human learning resources that provide an alternative to identity-based curricula, and supports a professional network of teachers, librarians, and school leaders.

The FAIR Legal Department funds and publicizes precedent-setting lawsuits in support of individuals deprived of civil liberties, assists schools and employers in proactively implementing changes to discriminatory policies and practices, and equips FAIR members as they challenge intolerance and discrimination.

FAIR in Medicine raises awareness of unethical and politicized practices in healthcare, promotes scientific debate and inquiry, and collaborates with other advocacy groups to promote FAIR’s ethical, pro-human approach to the practice of medicine.

The FAIR Chapter Network creates awareness of discriminatory and divisive local policies, practices, and legislation, alerts communities to them, takes action to make policy changes at the grassroots level, and provides a network of like-minded peers, experts, and advocacy groups.

“FAIR had our back the moment they heard of injustice at Emory Law. Without them, the Emory Free Speech Forum would not exist.”

“FAIR not only supported me in standing up against a discriminatory ideology, through FAIR in the Arts, it has provided connections with like-minded artists so I can begin building new relationships with people who share a pro-human approach to art-making.”

“[FAIR in Education's presentation] was helpful in ensuring I build a positive community and sense of belonging within my classroom, having and accepting numerous perspectives.”

"FAIR ... has been with me since the beginning of this journey. ... During a whole year when I was isolated, shunned, and censored for my second year of employment there at DeAnza, FAIR was there with me, too. ... The legal advocacy team has just been amazing."

People from all walks of life crave a society that values fairness, freedom, compassion, and mutual respect. These are human values, and they should not be bound by ethnicity, color, sex, sexuality, religion, or political persuasion. We all desire and deserve them.

Those who embrace these human values are the Exhausted Majority, and FAIR was created to give them a voice. FAIR is committed to celebrating our shared interests and values and advancing Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of equality for all—without exception.

Our multidisciplinary expertise and network of professionals provide tools and resources to achieve this goal on educational, legal, medical, artistic, and financial fronts.

FAIR has answered the call to empower, unite, and chart a path to a brighter and more hopeful future. Please join us on our mission!
