Not
yet, except to say the following thing, which is a snippet I've been using to vaguely explain what we're trying to accomplish:
Quote:
I'm starting a non-activist non-partisan non-profit that focuses upon the provision of clear and accurate information in not-quite Basic English, but close.
We accordingly plan to make appearances for public discussion, lecture and Q&A on these issues, with frequency.
Once it goes live, which has been and will continue to be hard work with regard to funding, I'll let everyone know.
The goal is to encourage specifically the kinds of people who feel that accurate information is unavailable to seek that information from clear and concise sources that respect their engagement.
We cannot launch until we have enough usable, simple information on critical topics to make the website / podcast / outreach / meetings valuable. I cannot do all of that myself, thus the funding and outreach to potential contributors.
It cannot be a quick process.

There is a critical need for graphic designers and for researchers more than anything else. It is important to know that we cannot
ever be wrong, and the way to never be wrong is to source
everything. That makes the preparation of the launch materials laborious. As a practicing litigator, as you can imagine, I am unable to do all of this.
Everyone who has PM'd me or mentioned being willing to assist has been put in a spreadsheet and will be contacted as soon as I have something concrete for them to do, if they want to do it. Every single person who has offered assistance of any kind has humbled me. I'm perpetually embarrassed that I'm the person trying to do this, instead of some of my friends from law school who didn't detour for like a decade into WEREWOLF and lame legal jobs that meant nothing to the people of this earth, so to hear people voice encouragement is kind of amazing because it is so contradictory with how I view my choices to date.
