ABOUT US

MISSION

Democracy Security Project Action Fund (DSPAF) was launched in 2024 to give organizations, leaders and advocates the training, tools, and support they need to stay safe while making a difference.

DSPAF is here to serve anyone in cultural and civil society. Since our founding, we have worked with people in a variety of industries and sectors, including civil servants, authors, labor organizers, educators, faith leaders, healthcare professionals, journalists, elected officials, and more.

WHAT WE DO

We offer a combination of resources including one-on-one assessment, training, and direct services to those facing harassment, disruptions to your work, including online and offline threats.

Whether virtual or in person, DSPAF offers culturally responsive, people-centered guidance to protect you, your team, and your community. We combine advocacy and crisis management experience with deep security expertise to assess risk and develop tailored solutions for individuals and organizations.

WHO WE ARE

We do this work because we know how dangerous this ever changing threat environment can be. We have managed non-profit organizations, campaigns, government agencies and other entities that have come under attack by domestic and foreign actors, rebuilt programs after data breaches, managed legal threats, and even faced down firearms, bomb threats , and death threats in our work.
