CAPJ’s Pakistan programming is grounded in:
Opposition to military dominance and authoritarian governance
Defense of civilian supremacy, democratic rights, and rule of law
Accountability for U.S. policy that enables repression
Protection of diaspora communities facing surveillance, intimidation, and retaliation
CAPJ is not a partisan Pakistan platform.
It is a policy-focused, diaspora-informed organization that connects Pakistan’s internal repression to U.S. foreign policy choices and global democratic backsliding.
