Description	The Courage Foundation is an international organisation that supports those who risk life or liberty to make significant contributions to the historical record. We fundraise for the legal and public defence of specific individuals who fit these criteria and are subject to serious prosecution or persecution. We also campaign for the protection of truthtellers and the public’s right to know generally. Our current beneficiaries are Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, Jeremy Hammond, Barrett Brown, Lauri Love, Matt DeHart and Emin Huseynov.
