In September of 2010, the organization began operating under the name, the Atlanta Public Sector Alliance (APSA). With an expanded vision and a refinement of its goals and objectives, a new organizational name was chosen to better reflect its work. As of March 2015, the organization became known as the Organization for Human Rights and Democracy (OHRD).

We are guided by a set of principles that together reflect our influences and commitments, our purpose and goals, and our process and approach. We believe in:

Group-Centered Leadership by the Most Affected
The Intersectionality of Oppressions
Building Bridges and Multi-Issue Struggle
Maintaining an International Perspective
A Human Rights Framework
Reflection and Action (Praxis)
The Personal as Political
Political Independence
Principled Partnerships
Principles over a Seat at the Table
Whole People, Whole Movements
Seduction/Irresistible
