The Civil Liberties Monitoring Project (CLMP) was formed in 1983 as part of a community response to local activities and abuses by the combined federal, state and local marijuana eradication program called Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP).

A non-profit organization, located in southern Humboldt County, CLMP relied on community support to continue its efforts to monitor, document, advocate for & educate about civil liberties issues in Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties. CLMP had as a goal to encourage public awareness of constitutional rights and encouraging involvement of the whole community in preserving and protecting them.
