This guide is free, and it always will be. We started this with zero funding, and everything you see here was built by a volunteer team that believes the community deserves information it can trust.
If you are able to give, here is where your support goes, and why it matters. If you are not able to give, the guide is still yours, so use it, share it, and bring someone with you to vote.
Semillas de Poder is the community power network at the center of our work. When you donate, one hundred percent of it goes back into the community, into our community events, our weekly community forums, our community training academies, stipends for our members, and mutual aid. None of it goes to overhead, because right now there is no overhead.
We are working on turning Semillas de Poder into its own nonprofit, so this support also helps us build something that can last. This GoFundMe is the community mutual aid fund, it is run by a community collective we partner with and is separate from the company. For general support of the Dashboard itself, use the donate widget on the site.
To support the Dashboard itself, the research, the translation, and keeping this guide free and current through the election, give through our live Givebutter campaign below. It is the simplest way to chip in, one time or monthly, and every dollar keeps the guide free for the next person who needs it.
We have shirts. Wearing one tells your neighbors this work exists, and the proceeds go straight back into the community network.
If you are a developer, a graphic designer, or a fellow political nerd, and you want to help us, we would love that. This is volunteer based, because we do not even get paid right now, so come in with open eyes and a good heart.
The volunteer page has the sign-up form and a fuller picture of what the work looks like, whether you can give an hour a week or twenty, and someone from our team will reach out within a week.
Follow the work, share it, and stay close to what the network is doing.
