ABOUT THE HENRY JACKSON SOCIETY
We are a think tank and policy-shaping force that fights for the principles and alliances which keep societies free.
We work across borders and party lines to combat extremism, advance democracy and real human rights - and make a stand in an increasingly uncertain world.
WHO WAS HENRY JACKSON?
HJS is named for Henry M. “Scoop” Jackson, a Democratic US Senator who strongly supported civil rights and protecting the environment — while also maintaining a strong opposition to totalitarianism and Communism. A liberal on domestic issues who was also an ardent hawk on foreign affairs, Henry Jackson was a bulwark in the fight for democracy and freedom in the 20th century.
