Who is PILLAR?
PILLAR (Protecting Individual Life, Liberty and Rights) is a New Zealand civil liberties group. We defend speech, conscience, privacy, and assembly in the courts, in Parliament, and in public.
We’re building a movement rooted in principle, powered by courage, and equipped for the long fight. Together, we can protect what matters most. Not just for today, but for generations to come.
Year One. Just the Beginning.
One year ago, PILLAR launched with a mission to defend the fundamental freedoms of every New Zealander.
Twelve months later, we've taken the fight for freedom into courtrooms, Parliament, universities and communities across the country.
Our Year One Annual Report shares what we've achieved, the impact we're making, and our vision for what comes next.
Year One laid the foundation. Now it's time to build.

PILLAR’S LEGISLATION
Freedom does not come about by accident, it requires vision, diligent work and planning.
PILLAR has prepared two pieces of legislation to be taken up as Members’ Bills - we’re taking the fight to Parliament.
PILLAR’s Foreign Influence Transparency Bill is designed to deter foreign interference by ensuring that political influence activities directed by foreign principals are publicly declared.
New Zealand Digital Bill of Rights Bill affirms a simple constitutional principle: the rights and freedoms New Zealanders enjoy offline must continue to apply online.
