We built this
because nobody else would.
STAND/WITH/ME exists so that financial barriers never silence the people willing to stand up.
WHY WE BUILT THIS
“What if the people who care could directly fund the people who act?”
Founded 2023
We watched talented organizers choose between paying rent and showing up to a rally. We watched single mothers who wanted to be at the courthouse every day but couldn't afford childcare. We watched people with full-time jobs burning vacation days to hold signs in the cold.
The people most affected by injustice are the ones who can least afford to fight it. That's not an accident — it's by design. STAND/WITH/ME breaks that design.
Not just marching. Drumming on frozen bridges. Painting murals. Growing gardens in vacant lots. Running legal aid clinics. Every creative act of resistance, funded directly by the people who believe in it.
WHO WE ARE
We are activists, technologists, and organizers who believe in this mission enough to build it — and strategic enough to protect ourselves while we do.
In a climate where peaceful protest is increasingly surveilled, the builders of STAND/WITH/ME practice what we preach: strategic protection.
We're not hiding. We're being smart. The same way we advise our activists to know their rights and plan carefully, we protect our ability to keep building this platform. If the system knew exactly who built the tools challenging it, they'd try to shut us down before we even started.
We're serious enough about effecting change that we protect our identity. Our code is our identity. Our impact is our introduction.
When the work is done and the landscape is safer, we'll gladly shake your hand. Until then, know us by what we build.
The Organizer
Strategy & VisionA decade of grassroots organizing. Knows what activists need because they've been one. Designed the platform around real problems, not theoretical ones.
The Architect

The Guardian

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Five principles.
Zero exceptions.
Transparency

Peace
We exclusively support peaceful activism. Every proposal is screened by two independent AI systems. If either flags a concern, a human reviewer makes the final call. All campaigns must comply with our Peace Pledge.
Equity
90% of funds go directly to activists. Financial barriers should never prevent someone from making their voice heard.
Accountability
Bank-grade identity verification. Impact reports with photos, video, and data. No anonymous actors, no unverified claims.
Safety
Real-time safety tools, legal aid partnerships, encrypted location data, and a comprehensive field guide for every activist.
