Watch Takes Courage is a national court-watch platform protecting the marginalized, the falsely accused, and children subjected to court proceedings — through observation, documentation, and reform.
Four pillars guide every action Watch Takes Courage takes inside and outside the courtroom.
Train and deploy courtroom observers who monitor proceedings for irregularities, procedural violations, and rights abuses.
Record case outcomes, judicial conduct, and attorney behavior to build an evidentiary record for accountability and systemic reform.
Amplify the voices of the marginalized and falsely accused, connecting them to legal resources and policy-reform efforts.
Use aggregated data and case evidence to push for legislative and judicial reform that protects vulnerable populations in Georgia.
Our community of observers, advocates, and families is growing every day.
Watch Takes Courage, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded on the belief that a watched courtroom is a fairer courtroom. We recruit and train community observers who attend hearings, document what happens, and report irregularities — creating a public record that judges, attorneys, and policymakers cannot ignore.
Monitoring cases involving children, custody disputes, and termination of parental rights.
Observing proceedings for due-process violations, bias, and procedural irregularities.
Protecting homeowners and tenants from unlawful proceedings and predatory practices.
Watching over elder-law cases where the vulnerable are at greatest risk of exploitation.
