Mission & Leadership

Mission

The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to improving the safety and security of the American people. We educate and inform them about the actions of their government and its officials that impact their safety; peace and security; democracy, civil rights, and civil liberties; and privacy.

Approach

We discover the truth, using whistleblowers, research, information requests, and legal action. We raise awareness, helping the American people to become better-informed about what their government is doing to protect their safety and security in a dangerous world.
