Donation Disclosure

Unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific campaign or benefit, no goods or services are provided in exchange for donations.

If we ever offer goods or services in exchange for a donation (a “quid pro quo” contribution), we will provide a good-faith estimate of the value of those benefits as required for certain contributions.

Transparency & Stewardship

Contributions are used responsibly and in alignment with the mission of the archive. As a living historical project, We've Been Protesting prioritizes accuracy, care, and long-term access over growth for its own sake.
