The Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC) is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, United States. Founded in 2003, it is made up of practicing public interest attorneys and organizers focused on defending the civil rights of all American citizens, particularly activists exercising their constitutional rights, and confronting what may be perceived as political and legislative attacks on basic liberties.
The CLDC seeks to educate the American public regarding current threats to their constitutionally guaranteed rights, and act as a legal resource for activists and legal workers. In particular, it claims to be a nationally recognized expert on the Patriot Act, and is often asked to speak about its restrictions on citizens' rights and the domestic implications of the United States' "War on Terrorism."
