National Religious Campaign Against Torture Action Fund

The National Religious Campaign Against Torture Action Fund works to ensure that U.S. leaders oppose torture in all circumstances. It does so primarily by educating current leaders. The NRCAT Action Fund staff regularly meet with top decision-makers to discuss what interrogation techniques ought to be permitted, how prisoners can be adequately protected from torture and other abuse, how we should respond to past instances of torture, and what proactive steps the U.S. can take to help prevent torture in all parts of the world.

The NRCAT Action Fund also engages in some limited electoral work. It educates people in particular states about candidates’ positions on torture using a variety of means, including newspaper ads, questions at public forums, and voter guides comparing candidates on torture.
