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.

WHAT WE STAND FOR
Five principles.
Zero exceptions.
Transparency
Every dollar is tracked. Stripe-secured direct payments. Verified proof of action. You always know where your money goes.
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.
