TRUTH to POWER

Speaking TRUTH TO POWER is everyone’s legal and Constitutional Right.

PHTFOC follows the well known and important premise which states: “If you see something say something.”

 The “If You See Something, Say Something®” campaign was originally implemented by New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), who licensed the use of the slogan to DHS for anti-terrorism and anti-terrorism crime efforts.

Today, many other individuals and entities have adopted this slogan as part of their toolkit to combat bullying, crime, environment, racism, and more.

PHTFOC has adopted the “If you see something say something” slogan in our toolkit to combat government corruption, protection of people’s Civil Rights and identifying the alleged unlawful criminalization of people suffering from abject poverty by law enforcement. additionally, PHTFOC always attempts to remain informed about many of the issues and challenges that surround the population of men, women, adolescent’s, children, and infants  living on the streets throughout Orange County.
