About the role

Resistance to advertising is global, and led from the Global South — but tools built only in English lock most of the world out. Translators make the platform, field guides and campaigns speak in more languages.

Support for volunteers

This is a volunteer role — but volunteering shouldn't cost you money. Here's what we back you with:

  • Field costs, not out of pocket

    Where the community treasury allows, we reimburse reasonable field costs — transport, printing, access tools — so volunteering never costs you money to do.

  • Micro-grants for local action

    Small grants for members and ambassadors running local campaigns, subvertising actions or city meet-ups. Apply through your coordinator.

  • Real credentials & references

    Member credentials, a public record of your contributions, and honest references for jobs, grants or study.

  • Skills, not just labour

    Hands-on mentoring in mapping, investigation, organising and open-source tools — you leave sharper than you arrived.
