The Goal
My goal with Civil Defense League is to help people form local preparedness groups with trusted friends and family. To do that effectively, everyone needs access to basic preparedness concepts, personal defense skills, and a little help. Instead of creating an official membership structure, I want people to build and organize locally in a way that makes sense for their group’s or individual needs.
Knowledge shared on this website does not exist to further any illegal causes, non-defensive violence, or terrorism activities. Local groups should be focused on defense and preparedness, which is better for everyone’s politics in the end anyway.
