The National Religious Campaign Against Torture (NRCAT) is an interfaith, membership-based nonprofit dedicated to abolishing U.S.-sponsored torture. Based in Washington, DC, it pursues its mission through activities aimed at reforming government practices and policy. The organization identifies four core areas for ending torture: preventing detainee abuse, stopping torture in U.S. prisons and detention facilities (notably extended solitary confinement), ending U.S. support for countries that engage in torture and promoting policies that help others stop torture, and countering bigotry that enables torture against religiously or ethnically targeted groups. NRCAT engages its interfaith membership to influence U.S. policy and public discussion around human rights and torture. In the nonprofit sector, it is oriented toward shaping policy and public debate rather than delivering services. Its base in Washington, DC situates it to engage national audiences across the United States.
