Recognizing the danger of expansive claims of state power, we advocate for a robust system of checks and balances and for policies that comply with the Constitution, civil liberties, and human rights. Through the courts, Congress, and public education, we strive to ensure that people are able to participate fully in civic life and are free from discrimination, unwarranted suspicion and surveillance, unlawful force and detention, and the stigma and other injustices that result from these abuses.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0}"> </span></p> <h2><span data-ccp-props="{"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335557856":16777215,"335559738":0,"335559739":300}"><strong>WHAT YOU'LL DO</strong></span></h2> <p><span data-contrast="none">The National Security Project’s Undergraduate Intern will be responsible for a wide range of administrative and substantive tasks to support our litigation and advocacy efforts in the national security context.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0}"> </span></p> <h3><span data-ccp-props="{"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335557856":16777215,"335559738":0,"335559739":300}"> </span><strong><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">Your Day to Day</span></span></strong></h3> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="none">Reviewing and logging government documents in National Security Project online databases</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Organizing and archiving case files</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Conducting factual research</span><span data-ccp-props="{"335557856":16777215,"335559739":0}"> </span></li> </ul> <h2><span data-ccp-props="{"134245418":true,"134245529":true,"335557856":16777215,"335559738":0,"335559739":300}"> <strong>WHAT YOU'LL BRING</strong></span></h2> <p><span data-contrast="none"><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">The internship is open to students who will have completed at least three years of an undergraduate degree program before the internship </span><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">commences</span><span data-ccp-parastyle="heading 2">.
