Humanity Front

The Humanity Front is a pro-human political group founded by William Taggart.

Background
In 2020, Antoine Thisdale, a shale rig worker in Utah, loses his job as the demand for stronger and better augmented workers makes unaugmented workers obsolete. Thisdale, a completely healthy yet unaugmented man, sues for the right to amputate himself to have the same advantages his augmented competition would have.

In 2021, following the victorious Thisdale case, the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling declaring it constitutional for individuals to have the right to mechanically augment themselves. In direct opposition to the groundbreaking ruling's controversial implications, Bill Taggart forms the anti-augmentation group known as the Humanity Front. It is legally incorporated in Utah.

In 2022, a group of protesters gather in Brazil to protest the opening of a new (but the 359th in the world) LIMB clinic. In spite of this, the clinic proves to be a highly welcomed establishment for the South American country.

In 2027, the Humanity Front gathers in the city of Detroit, in front of the headquarters of Sarif Industries, to protest the company's augmentation program. Protesting against LIMB clinics also happen on a regular basis.

The Humanity Front appear to have many dedicated supporters. But according to Isaias Sandoval, during his friendly confrontation with Adam Jensen, the organization were actually losing popular support prior to the attack on Sarif Industries.
