Documentingresistance.

A grassroots archive that emerged from the 2024 mass uprising. It preserves the voices and evidence of a generation that demanded justice.

Evidence preserved.Communities protected.Justice prepared.

Videos, testimonies, and firsthand accounts stay with the people who recorded them. The archive checks that material with affected communities, keeps a chain of custody, and prepares it for accountability only when publication is safe.

Investigations

We verify footage and testimony with those present, documenting inquiries that demand accountability.
