As Sen. John McCain consistently worked to protect human rights and further the ideals of justice for the oppressed, the Democracy Programs safeguard freedom by advocating for and providing aid to those on the frontlines of democracy worldwide.
“We must never, never cease to believe in the moral superiority of our own values: that we stand for truth against falsehood, freedom against tyranny, right against injustice, hope against despair – and that even though we will inevitably take losses and suffer setbacks, through it all, as long as people of goodwill and courage refuse to lose faith in the West, it will endure."
