who we are
At The Civil Rights Coalition, we believe in the fundamental principle that everyone deserves to have their rights and freedoms respected. Our vision is to foster a community where all citizens, regardless of their personal views and opinions, stand together in the defense of individual liberties.
Together, we are ensuring that future generations inherit a country where civil liberties are cherished, not weakened in the name of modernization.
The Civil Rights Coalition is an OCPF filed Ballot Committee whose purpose is to Suspend and Repeal Chapter 135 of the Acts of 2024. We were officially formed on August 26, 2024.
Teachers. Veterans. Parents. Doctors and Nurses. Police Officers. Your Neighbors. Together, we make up the Civil Rights Coalition, a nonpartisan, grassroots movement of everyday people from all walks of life. We are standing up for our fundamental freedoms, united by a belief that government should serve the people, not control them.
We came together to protect our constitutional rights—especially when they’re under attack. In Massachusetts, Chapter 135 (formerly H.4885) was signed into law with sweeping mandates that turn law-abiding citizens into criminals overnight and force honest citizens to reapply for rights they’ve held for decades to comply with confusing, burdensome rules that violate due process and privacy.
We’re not lobbyists.
We’re not politicians.
We’re citizens who believe enough is enough.
Our ultimate goal is to foster meaningful dialogue and solutions that do not compromise constitutional freedoms.
We are a coalition in the true sense of the word. We don't need to agree on everything, but we do share the belief that:
-
The Constitution still matters.
-
Civil rights are non-negotiable and don’t expire based on political trends.
-
Surveillance of law-abiding citizens is not “common sense”—it’s overreach.
-
Facts Matter and Data is essential to making informed decisions.
-
Accountability is Key.
In just 45 days, over 800 volunteers helped collect more than 100,000 signatures—nearly 95,000 of them certified—in one of the largest grassroots efforts Massachusetts has seen in a generation. 70% of those who signed the petition were Independent or Unenrolled Voters.
We don’t care about party labels—we care about protecting liberty.
We are The Civil Rights Coalition. And we’re here to protect your rights, your future, and your voice.
