Volunteer
Join the Project
This is a volunteer civic project. It moves at the speed of the people who show up.
Roles
Four Ways to Help
- Research - file and track public-records requests, verify tracker entries against primary sources, monitor council agendas and the legislature.
- Local coordination - help organize meetings in your town, be the point of contact for your city, attend and document council meetings.
- Content & media - write plain-language explainers, prepare print materials, and (once handles exist) run the project's social presence to the same factual standard as this site.
- Start a chapter in your state - be the founding coordinator where you live. The full launch process, venue list, and reservation script are on State Chapters.

Expectations
The Standard You Are Joining
- Peaceful and lawful conduct, always. No threats, no harassment, no encouragement of confrontation.
- No doxxing - we never publish private personal information about anyone, including officials and camera-program supporters.
- Facts get verified before they get repeated. When unsure, say "unverified."
- Cross-partisan respect: people join this project from every political direction, and it stays that way.
