The movement needs you full-time.
Every great campaign started with someone who quit their day job to organize. The AAO program gives aspiring organizers the financial runway to make that leap — recurring funding, no platform fees, backed by a community that believes in the work.
Get donated housing while your campaign builds.
Verified campaign hosts offer spare rooms to organizers — free, for up to 30 days. Cut your housing costs while you're building your donor base. The smaller your funding ask, the more likely you are to get it.
What is the AAO program?
Adopt an Organizer (AAO)
AAO campaigns fund organizers leaving paid employment to commit full-time to community organizing, coalition-building, and movement work. Admin-verified, escrow-disbursed, zero platform fees.
What donors fund
Your monthly goal covers real survival costs: rent, groceries, health insurance, transportation. Funds are held in Stripe escrow and disbursed monthly against verified expenses — not as a general salary.
