Volunteer with the We Count Project: Help Defend Democracy Through Accurate Protest Data
The We Count Project is looking for dedicated volunteers who can commit 3–5 hours per week for at least 3 months. We are a grassroots effort working to document and preserve the true scope of anti-Trump protests across the U.S. through data, information, and public-facing tools. Work is done on Discord.
We need hands-on support with tasks such as:
Outreach and communication with partner groups
Helping to develop and implement a marketing plan
Writing, proofreading, reviewing, and editing documents
Checking and cleaning protest data
Compiling contact lists
Helping create and run campaigns
Designing graphics, captions, and alt text
Posting updates in group chats and servers
Supporting same-day crowd count data collection
Assisting with corrections to the Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) records
Participating in project debriefs
Helping build training materials and videos
Checking for communication in our hat.
Whether your strength is outreach, writing, organizing, visuals, or data; there’s a way to plug in. Reliability matters: we’ve had volunteers offer help but not participate, which slows down the work. If you join, we ask for steady, active contributions.
About the We Count Project
The We Count Project is a volunteer-led initiative that builds tools and resources to crowdsource accurate protest data in defense of democracy.
We maintain a public dashboard visualizing CCC's protest data, a streamlined tool (Public Source Creator) to submit counts for the CCC, and accessible guides to help organizers and coalitions share reliable numbers.
Our work ensures protests are counted, seen, and remembered, strengthening media visibility and movement momentum.
If you can contribute 3–5 hours a week and want to take part in this important work, we’d love to hear from you.
