Enemies of the StateWatch E001

Why we exist / What we stand for

When power tries
to erase a story,
we preserve it.

Enemies of the State exists to shine a light on injustice inflicted against those who stand up for individual rights and the future of liberty.

Mission and organizational perspective

01 / Why we exist

Tell their stories.
Raise awareness.
Ensure they are not forgotten.

Journalists, whistleblowers, technologists, and advocates for peaceful freedom have been silenced, imprisoned, and exiled for challenging authority and building tools that empower individuals over institutions.

02 / What we do

Build a public record that can move people to act.

01

Document

Gather interviews, public records, reporting, court materials, and testimony around each case.

02

Explain

Make complex legal and political conflicts understandable without flattening their human consequences.

03

Amplify

Keep people visible through editorial programming, portraits, episodes, and ongoing case updates.

04

Support

Connect readers to verified legal funds, petitions, official campaigns, and appropriate ways to help.

03 / Who we cover

People whose cases reveal the cost of challenging institutional power.

Coverage may include journalists, whistleblowers, privacy developers, advocates, publishers, and others whose peaceful conduct or work confronts state authority.

“Enemy of the State” is not a legal classification. It describes the posture institutions take toward people they treat as threats for exercising rights, exposing wrongdoing, or building alternatives.

04 / Our perspective and standards

Advocacy should make its perspective visible.

Defense-centered

Our reporting gives meaningful space to the person and defense. We disclose that perspective instead of presenting advocacy as neutrality.

Clearly attributed

Documented procedural facts, government claims, defense positions, and EotS interpretation should be labeled as distinct forms of information.

Evidence-led

Primary documents, dates, sources, and current case status should remain accessible wherever possible.

Correctable

Profiles are living records. Material corrections, changed status, and disputed claims should be reviewed and updated transparently.

05 / Who we are

The organization is still taking shape.

This area will introduce the founders, contributors, advisors, editorial relationships, and relevant organizational disclosures as they are approved.

Team profiles and governance information forthcoming.

Support the mission

Help ensure the record survives.
