ProtestUSA

Keep it running

ProtestUSA has no ads, no investors and no tracking, so the people who use it pay for it. Every dollar and every cost is listed below.

Wear it

Shirts like “Some Assembly Required” and “Sign of the Times”, printed when you order. Everything after the printing and shipping cost goes to the running costs.

How donations are used

  • Only running costs. Donations pay for the server, storage, backups and the domain. Nobody is paid a salary, and there are no rewards or perks.
  • Every month is published. The table on this page is updated each month with what came in and what went out.
  • Not tax-deductible. ProtestUSA isn't a registered charity yet, so gifts can't be deducted.
  • Not for bail or legal funds. Please give those directly to local bail funds and legal-aid groups.

Costs stay flat on purpose: uploads are capped per person per day, total storage has a ceiling, photos and videos are deleted after 60 days, and AI features have a prepaid budget that can't auto-renew.
