CP3 TVTP Grant Program recipient One World Strong used its funding to create the One World Online Resilience Center, which serves as a one-stop shop for local terrorism prevention and victim services. However, One World Strong founder Dave Fortier never anticipated getting into this line of work. A survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, Fortier quickly realized that the theme of “people helping people” would run through his life for a long time. Read more about One World Strong.

Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties
CP3 prioritizes privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties within DHS legal authorities and policy. CP3 works to ensure that its programs include fundamental constitutional and legal protections. CP3 does not engage in widespread data collection or activities like law enforcement investigations or intelligence gathering. CP3 does not engage in censorship or encourage or facilitate any censorship. Government censorship of viewpoints not only infringes on individuals’ constitutional rights, but it is also an ineffective tactic to prevent targeted violence and terrorism.
