As long as you are alive, you are constantly creating data—and in today’s digital age, it has become more important than ever before to know how to harness the power of your own data.. The question now is, how is data exchanged? How do companies obtain data? Through the TARTLE Marketplace, everyone is able to exchange data. Even better, people are financially incentivized to sell their data to sellers. Buyers can also purchase specific data packets, from medical to financial data. In this episode, join Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby as they discuss the value of data, and what it means to share private information. They will also be listening to David Sinclair and Lex Fridman’s opinions on harnessing big data. &nbsp; Taking Ownership of Your Data &nbsp; Most people nowadays use the internet in their everyday lives. Since everyone is almost always plugged into the digital world, it’s no surprise that everyone’s data is up for grabs as well. There are plenty of third-party sites accessing our personal data and this complex web of interactions makes it near impossible to scrub our data off of the internet. While it is difficult to find solutions to all the data ownership problems that we’ve run into on the internet, TARTLE does make it possible for individuals to become more informed and responsible about their own data. Through the platform, you have the capacity to share and sell your data. You also have the right to erase any of your unsold data whenever you want. &nbsp; Assets and Liabilities within The TARTLE Marketplace &nbsp; When it comes to data exchange, security and privacy are top priorities. Fortunately, TARTLE has a completely self-sovereign architecture for every person. That means that nothing gets leaked, as the passwords and other related information are only known to their respective owners. This is especially important for companies who want to purchase data from TARTLE. When a privacy issue arises, these companies do not want the liability of a data breach, nor do they want to get sued by their clients and those who sold their data. Additionally, purchasing data through TARTLE can be seen as a verifier that the data was acquired ethically. TARTLE obtains data with consent from its respective owners while paying them, and gives them the power to choose how their data is used. &nbsp; Ensuring Data Privacy and Accountability &nbsp; One of the most common concerns when it comes to sharing any kind of information online, regardless of whether it is related to our personal health or medical records, is whether it will be safe and secure once it is uploaded to another platform. When people feel that their data may end up being permanently stored on the internet, or that they do not have control over their own information, then they will naturally stop feeling the incentive to share. A part of the hesitation to share personal data stems from the reality that we do not feel like we have control over it in the first place. Another common reason could be attributed to the misperception that if we have any ailments or illnesses, it is because we do not take care of our health. Sharing valuable and relevant information is key to helping improve the lives of everybody. There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Not your medical records, nor anything else. Every single one of us is a human being, and we are all learning from each other. How do we encourage people to be more proactive about sharing their information? &nbsp; Closing Thoughts: A Safe Space for Medical Records &nbsp; The TARTLE platform gives people an opportunity to experience the benefits of sharing data in multiple ways. First, it encourages individuals to be more empowered about their own information. They no longer have to feel like they are victims of their own data. Second, TARTLE provides a safe space for people to learn how to control their information. The marketplace does not profit from the data gathering in any way. Its main goal is...

A Safe Space for Personal Data

Do you control your data, or does your data control you? &nbsp; The internet has evolved at an unprecedented pace. It’s a massive network of individuals, corporations, and other entities that can fit in the back of your pocket. Our most prominent use of the internet is for communication—through social media, we believe we are empowered because of our extensive connections, we think that we have been given a voice because we are only on one end of the screen, sometimes shrouded in the comfort of anonymity. &nbsp; Jaron Lanier wants to challenge those beliefs. &nbsp; Jaron Lanier is a pioneer of virtual reality technology and has been in the industry since the 1980s. His involvement in the evolution of modern technology has given him rockstar status in the tech world. &nbsp; However, he’s taken a complete 180 regarding his beliefs on the growth of the internet and the direction that adjacent technologies have taken—and many of his opinions align with what TARTLE stands for. &nbsp; In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby engage in a light back-and-forth on a quote made by Jaron Lanier in his book entitled, Who Owns The Future? &nbsp; “The foundational idea of humanistic computing is that provenance is valuable. Information is people in disguise, and people ought to be paid for value they contribute that can be sent or stored on a digital network.” - Jaron Lanier &nbsp; Are We Losing Our Humanity to the Internet? &nbsp; Jaron describes how the internet has journeyed down a path where human beings are all treated like machine components in one giant electronic brain. We all take our part in powering this massive brain through our interactions on the internet: we build a unique personal profile as netizens by visiting our favorite websites, shopping for goods and services, and otherwise investing plenty of time and effort navigating the digital landscape. &nbsp; The internet takes all these interactions and synthesizes it to create an all-knowing electronic brain that is capable of fulfilling all our desires. If you want to buy a certain product and start searching for it, you’ll soon get ads showing that specific item across your platforms. If you look at the websites and applications you use, your mind is trained on the function of the product and how amazing it is for technology to have reached this point.&nbsp; &nbsp; We forget that everything on the internet is hoisted on the shoulders of ordinary people, like us. &nbsp; Where is the harm in this? The internet dehumanizes people and takes away our capacity to have a meaningful, authentic human experience—especially when you fall victim to the allure of social media. &nbsp; Getting the Hive Mind Out of the Gutter &nbsp; One of the most thrilling ideas of being on the internet is that at any time, you can hide behind a veil of anonymity. It’s a great development for many people: anonymity helps others speak up about experiences they were too afraid to share. For example, the #MeToo movement helped bring a voice to oppressed women across the world through anonymous posting. &nbsp; However, anonymity can also have an ugly face. It’s also enabled troll farms, fake news mills, and doxxing. In some cases, it’s endangered the lives of innocent people.&nbsp; &nbsp; This is not to say that the progress we’ve made because of anonymity is invalidated with their presence. It is, however, an indication that we must do more to reign in the evolution of the internet so that it returns to being human-centered. &nbsp; Supplementing Your Social Media Cleanse With TARTLE &nbsp; In a world so interconnected with the internet, it can be difficult to change our perspective on social media—but that’s not to say that it can’t be done. &nbsp; When you have the right tools and equipment to take control of your data and turn it around, you’ll be able to notice how much you’re capable of and how much influence was taken away from you by the internet. &nbsp;...

The First Fundamental: How to Bring Humanity Back to the Internet

The women’s rights movement dates back to as far as 1848. It has made significant strides to ensure women are being treated fairly at home, at work, and in society as a whole. This manifests in equal pay, a union for working women, and the right to vote. &nbsp; Women’s suffrage became the grounds from which women could put in place the various rights and laws that cater to needs specific to their lived experience. &nbsp; In this episode, we’re going to be discussing women’s suffrage, the women’s rights movement, and the social aspects of patriarchy. Joining us today is Susan Ware, author of various books including Beyond Suffrage: Women in the New Deal, Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote, and many more. &nbsp; The Basis for Women’s Rights &nbsp; Women’s rights have always been human rights. This encompasses all women, not just a certain group or race. The basis for women’s rights is to ensure that women are equal and to be given the same amount of rights and responsibilities as men. &nbsp; It was discussed that one look at the structures and hierarchies that make up the society we live in today shows that there are power struggles, glass ceilings, and unequal handouts for opportunity. In most scenarios, men were found to be in these groups of privilege while women were marginalized and disenfranchised.&nbsp; &nbsp; How, then, do we empower women so that they can operate on an equal playing field? According to Susan Ware, political power is paramount. If women never secured the right to vote nor hold office, they would have continued to go unrepresented and unheard. As a result, the win for women’s suffrage helped secure a variety of other rights for women because it gave them the economic, political, social, and cultural tools they needed to succeed. &nbsp; Again, women’s rights are human rights. Being biologically female does not make you a lesser human being than men, and your rights shouldn’t be different. The sexes’ differences should only be in biological function, not in rights. Humanity, as a collective, has the responsibility of making sure that men and women are equal—regardless of race or religion.&nbsp; &nbsp; Changing the Status Quo &nbsp; The Nineteenth Amendment brought about the right of American women to vote. It drastically changed the Constitution. This drastic change was brought about by equally drastic actions; it called for the struggles and efforts of so many people, with supporters carrying out rallies and marches, before finally achieving women’s suffrage. &nbsp; Another law that greatly affected African Americans is The Voting Rights Act of 1965, which outlawed discriminatory voting practices against African Americans. Harassment, intimidation, and physical violence discouraged African Americans from practising their right to vote. As a result, they were unable to fully wield their political power even though they were already allowed to vote.&nbsp; &nbsp; This also concerned African American women as they faced not only sexism but racism as well. It’s an indication that the struggles of marginalized communities do intersect and are doubly felt by certain groups. The fight for women’s rights isn’t just limited to the right to vote, but concerns a broader movement that also shares its struggles with other social movements.&nbsp; &nbsp; No one ever achieves total success when it comes to social movements, and the same can be said for women’s rights. The struggle will always be an up and down battle of wins and losses. However, our takeaway shouldn’t be to just give up, but must instead continue to fight for what’s right and just. Additionally, educating and empowering the next generation ensures that the movement will live on. &nbsp; It is time for us to acknowledge: there are patriarchal aspects that are ingrained into our norms and social structures. These aspects indirectly hold back women, and consequently,...

Power and the Woman's Vote: How Can History Help? With Susan Ware

How much do you know about Facebook? &nbsp; Throughout the years, we’ve heard plenty. The platform has inspired, surprised, and betrayed us. A lot of us seem to have a love-hate relationship with Facebook, because while we recognize and resent their control over our personal information, we continue to condone their actions by being present on the site. &nbsp; In this episode, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby analyze the true intentions of Facebook after reading an article on how researchers lost access to their accounts after digging up data against the platform. &nbsp; A Laundry List of Controversies &nbsp; Since its creation, the platform has had its fair share of ups and downs. While it remains one of the biggest social media sites in the world and its presence has helped people connect with their loved ones it’s also been the subject of controversy.&nbsp; &nbsp; In 2014, Facebook was criticized for running psychological tests on 70,000 unconsenting participants in 2012. This test involved removing a certain list of words from their news feeds to see how it affected their reactions to posts.&nbsp; &nbsp; Later, in 2018, the Cambridge Analytica scandal showed everyone just how compromised their Facebook accounts were. The data analytics firm improperly harvested data from millions of users for ad targeting during the 2016 election. &nbsp; And in 2019, the FTC fined Facebook $5 billion over violations of user privacy. &nbsp; There are plenty more scandals in the past decade to illustrate how the platform has consistently pushed the boundaries of user privacy and personal rights. And yet, people continue to use the platform—effectively giving Facebook the power to also continue commercializing their personal data. &nbsp; How Can We Change Facebook? &nbsp; Alexander McCaig clarifies that he doesn’t care about the platform. He explains that this is because Facebook is a commercialization engine, and has been clear about their intentions for their users. &nbsp; It’s difficult to expect change from a super tech company that is set on its ambition to continue profiting from its users. A more realistic goal to work on would be to take away its biggest source of income, which is its massive user base. &nbsp; Jason pointed out that if a huge momentum against Facebook occurred and a billion users collectively decided to just stop using the platform, it would have a tangible and more concrete impact on their actions. In contrast, writing articles would not be as effective. &nbsp; Closing Thoughts: Starting the Shift Away from&nbsp; Facebook &nbsp; The anger towards big tech corporations like Facebook is misplaced. With all the awareness around what it’s capable of doing and what it has already chosen to do before, people don’t need more content on how they’re being used as cash cows. They need a way to mobilize against the platform;&nbsp; an incentive to move away from using Facebook as their primary source of connection and entertainment. &nbsp; The TARTLE platform is capable of giving people this renewed purpose on the internet. The marketplace is designed to fully respect the autonomy and privacy of each individual. Users are free to fill out all the data packets they want and earn from their hard work. Everybody who is on the TARTLE platform has the opportunity to become a data champion. &nbsp; If you have the strong desire to stop an enormous commercialization system like Facebook from using people as cash cows, the first step towards achieving your goal is to find out what you have control over—yourself, and your participation in that very system. &nbsp; Cutting off their access to your data may seem insignificant when you are just one person out of a billion users on the platform. However, change is never about one big miraculous step that suddenly and neatly solves all the problems. It’s a series of small steps that amount to a big change over time. &nbsp; You could be the first step of the movement that...

Fac(ad)ebook: How to Have Your Data and Privacy Rights Respected on the Internet

When we’re so used to just following instructions, it can be tough to try and question who truly benefits in the grand scheme of things. We barely give a second thought when it comes to paying off our monthly dues to Netflix, Spotify, and whatever subscription business models we use to entertain ourselves. &nbsp; However, we need to start digging deeper. If we don’t start asking the right questions, we continue to feed a system that will shamelessly continue to take our information so that the nameless entities at the top will benefit.&nbsp; &nbsp; We also need to start looking into mobilizing on the grassroots level, looking for the right tools and equipment to empower our journey in reclaiming our data. &nbsp; In this podcast, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby engage in a quick question-and-answer style discussion on micropayments, data rights, and how we can use TARTLE to better humanity. &nbsp; Making Micropayments Possible &nbsp; We have plenty of payment platforms that allow us to send money to our loved ones and pay for services, regardless of location. However, they often come with hefty fees. This makes it difficult to send micropayments. &nbsp; As Alexander McCaig pointed out, micropayments are incredibly important in a world where most people live on less than two dollars and thirty cents a day. The fundamentals of this system do not work; online banking methods, and even bitcoin do not handle the process in a way that is fair for the user. Imagine paying more in fees just to pay for your streaming service, or send money to your family in your home country.&nbsp; &nbsp; The world needs a platform where people can send both small amounts and large sums as they need to, without any strings attached. No subscriptions or fees needed, nor personal data exchanged. &nbsp; And speaking of data… &nbsp; What’s With the Data Farming? &nbsp; Jason Rigby shared how, in the past, glass beads were used as a form of currency in Africa. However, other people saw an opportunity to mass-manufacture these beads in factories across Europe. On the surface, they looked like generous benefactors with plenty of beads to help the local economy— but behind the facade, they were not sourcing it economically nor considering the user at all. They successfully squeezed everything they could out of the locals. &nbsp; Fast forward to today and we find ourselves trapped in a similar situation. The monthly subscription business models offered by our favorite entertainment apps, like Spotify and Netflix, give us the opportunity to access all the music and shows we want—but at what cost? &nbsp; In this exchange, these companies get away with farming millions of people around the world for their data. It’s not just a hit to our privacy. It’s an avenue for them to earn at our expense. The underground data collection and massive aggregation of information. &nbsp; It’s time for us to mobilize and start the clamor for more equal rights. To do that, we need a platform where we are all treated as equals. &nbsp; That’s where TARTLE comes in. &nbsp; TARTLE: The Great Equalizer &nbsp; The TARTLE platform gives you the opportunity to earn at your own pace, with complete knowledge of what you’re getting into. No smoke and mirrors are attached to our offer; all you need to do is sign up, fill out data packets, and put it up for sale.&nbsp; &nbsp; In this way, you can make sure that you are earning money for causes that support humanity’s next step forward. On TARTLE, we are all sharing in the wealth of information. &nbsp; What’s your data worth? &nbsp; It’s time for you to find out.  &nbsp; TCAST is brought to you by TARTLE. A global personal data marketplace that allows users to sell their personal information anonymously when they want to, while allowing buyers to access clean ready to analyze data sets on digital identities from all across the globe. &nbsp;  The show is hosted by Co-Founder and Source Data Pioneer Alexander McCaig...

Micro-Benefits With Micropayments: How to Get Your Money’s Worth

The bigger your dreams and ambitions, the tougher your setbacks and critics. Those who have followed the podcast or invested in the TARTLE platform since the start know that the marketplace is a product of years of hard work, research, funding, and more.&nbsp; &nbsp; It’s the brainchild of a group of people who want to use modern technologies for a noble goal: the evolution of humanity. &nbsp; In a world where we are becoming increasingly isolated from each other and individualistic in our movements, TARTLE is an opportunity to reconnect to the common thread that holds us together through the digital medium.&nbsp; &nbsp; Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby take the opportunity to take the internet trolls head-on and discuss: is the marketplace scamming us? &nbsp; Is TARTLE A Scam? &nbsp; Without wasting any time, Alexander McCaig and Jason Rigby jumped straight into the heart of the issue: some users may not have realized that to earn from the platform, time and effort is involved. &nbsp; Yes, the TARTLE marketplace aims to make data champions out of today’s netizens. But as netizens, you also have a responsibility to put in the work so that you can earn. The minute you register and connect your Paypal to your account, you can start filling out the data packets immediately.&nbsp; &nbsp; We don’t offer a get-rich-quick scheme for people looking to make easy money. Taking back control of our data is difficult. It does not just call for us to put in the physical work, but the mental work of changing our perspective as well.&nbsp; &nbsp; The power to earn comes with the responsibility to fill out data packets, put them up for sale, research on causes that we identify with, and wait for buyers from these causes to pick up the packets that have been filled out. &nbsp; It’s an opportunity for important causes to retrieve data directly from the source, and compensate you for your hard work as well. &nbsp; What TARTLE Stands For &nbsp; TARTLE hopes to become a platform that fosters data champions. The simple act of filling out a data packet is one step forward in empowering yourself to become more accountable and responsible over your data.&nbsp; &nbsp; At every step, you have full control over the opportunities given to you. Once you sign up, you choose the data packets you want to fill out. Once that’s over, you can sell it to companies or causes that are dear to you. &nbsp; It sounds simple because we’ve worked on making the platform as intuitive as possible. But being completely responsible for your data is a heady, empowering feeling. Imagine all the time and effort you put in Facebook, Twitter or Instagram is converted into payment and valuable data for the companies, organizations, and causes that you believe in.&nbsp; &nbsp; That’s what TARTLE can do for you. &nbsp; Closing Thoughts: The World With Big Data &nbsp; Technology is becoming increasingly complex, efficient, and all-encompassing. It’s evolving and we need to evolve alongside it as well. The question is, how involved are we in the progress of modern machinery? If we look at the entire process of logging onto the internet and interacting with our favorite websites and applications, do we still derive some benefit from our work at the end? &nbsp; Everybody deserves to be compensated for putting plenty of time and effort into a certain endeavor. When it comes to the internet, we deserve to be compensated for crafting a unique user identity. We currently live in a world where big tech corporations take our data and profit on it themselves. Doesn’t that sound more like a scam than the work done on the TARTLE platform? &nbsp; Don’t let the comfort of modern living distract you from asking: &nbsp; What’s your data worth?  &nbsp; TCAST is brought to you by TARTLE. A global personal data marketplace that allows users to sell their personal information anonymously when they want to, while allowing buyers to access clean ready to analyze data sets on...

Why Work With TARTLE?

Does technology make you feel human?&nbsp; &nbsp; As we continue to evolve in technology and capabilities, we wonder if we remain at the focal point of progress. After all, these are tools that were designed to alleviate our quality of life. If we aren’t doing it for humanity, then why are we doing it at all? &nbsp; Here at TARTLE, our job is to remind people about the purpose of technology. We are dedicated to creating tools that will bring people back to the forefront of evolution. &nbsp; Jinba Ittai: Applying the Horse Analogy to Data &nbsp; Jinba Ittai is a Japanese word that represents the unity of the horse and their rider. This was an important relationship that archers needed to foster so that they could perform effectively in battle.&nbsp; &nbsp; In a similar manner, data is the vehicle and the ‘creature’ you need to learn to tame. We already respect and understand the impact of technology on us. But we need to take control of how technology is carving out our future. &nbsp; This balance can only be achieved when we accept that responsibility on an individual basis. It’s not something we can pass off to multinational corporations or governments. They cannot accurately represent our unique skill set and preferences. They don’t have the same ideas to contribute. Here at TARTLE, we are all capable of creating something new with data.&nbsp; &nbsp; Here at TARTLE, you are the Sherpa. &nbsp; Alexander McCaig likened our work here to that of the Sherpa. These are members of a Tibetan people who live on the high southern slopes of the Himalayas, known for providing support to foreign trekkers and mountain climbers.&nbsp; &nbsp; They are people who have an intimate understanding of the mountain. They’ve dedicated their lives to helping people walk their path.&nbsp; &nbsp; Working for TARTLE is making that same commitment to helping people walk their path. The platform is the tool people need to take the next step forward in data evolution. It’s their opportunity to take control of their data.&nbsp; &nbsp; Closing Thoughts &nbsp; Choosing to work for TARTLE means that you are one of the earliest supporters of our system. You’re helping us carve out a path to the top of the mountain.&nbsp; &nbsp; We aren’t the ones in the limelight. Our goal is to help others trek through a treacherous online landscape. We are responsible for opening people’s eyes to the reality that tech companies benefit more from us than we do for them. The TARTLE philosophy is to turn that around and bring humanity back to the spotlight.  &nbsp; Be a part of our team! Send your resume to jobs@tartle.co &nbsp; TCAST is brought to you by TARTLE.

Introducing the TARTLE Philosophy

Welcome to TARTLE! As cheesy as it sounds, we want to walk you through our mission and vision. Don’t worry, this won’t take long. We can condense why we do what we do into three main principles: &nbsp; 1. Elevate humanity through the sharing of data. &nbsp; Data sharing is an important part of human progress. Today, our personal data is being maximized by other entities for activities that do not necessarily benefit us. It’s time to reclaim our data and empower ourselves. &nbsp; Everybody has the potential to become data champions. Your work with TARTLE is your first step. Your next step will be using your work to give others the opportunity to become data champions as well. &nbsp; 2. Create a world where complete and total knowledge is shared. Regardless of who we are or where we come from, we deserve full transparency. When people are open and willing to share their experiences, we unlock the potential to evolve as a collective. &nbsp; Under the present system, we find ourselves shoehorned into data silos. We are in the dark about what happens with our data and the benefits that can be derived from it. Complete and total knowledge means there is no gap between what we know about data and what we do with our data. &nbsp; Our data is a record of our authentic human experience. It holds our knowledge, habits, choices, health, and much more. When this information stops being hoarded for the profit or the advantage of corporations and governments, we make the internet a place everyone can be a part of. &nbsp; The internet is a tool we should use to come together and solve global problems beyond borders. &nbsp; 3. Use data to solve our most pressing problems as a collective. Have you ever been to a concert? You enter as an individual, but when the beat drops you become part of the crowd. Everybody is on a high when the music starts. &nbsp; That’s the kind of empowerment we believe comes from owning our data. We hold the key to solving the most pressing problems of humanity. We only need to know that we are not alone in our struggle. &nbsp; Closing Thoughts &nbsp; Here at TARTLE, you’re not just doing work for the sake of work. We are a team of people who want to help humanity. It’s a grand ambition, but we are confident that we can make a tangible difference. &nbsp; Throughout history, entire movements took decades of work to create, shape, and ground their principles in reality. We ask you to join TARTLE and think of your work as a part of a bigger picture. You are taking small steps that help propel our mission and vision forward.   Be a part of our team!

TARTLE’s Mission and Vision

TCAST gives people a platform where they can learn more about what’s going on with data in our world. It’s a call to hold ourselves accountable over our information and use it to solve the world’s most pressing problems.&nbsp; &nbsp; As TARTLE’s CEO, Alexander McCaig, puts it: “We want to speak about the entire narrative of human existence and how forever into the future will be written by data.” &nbsp; Alexander McCaig speaks several times a week on pertinent global issues, reiterating how the TARTLE marketplace is a part of the solution. We are constantly communicating and always transparent about the direction and vision of our company. &nbsp; Speaking Truth to Power &nbsp; Our episodes aren’t a constant call to subscribe to our channels and opt into the platform for the sake of hopping on to the latest, newest trends. We launched TCAST so that we could give a constant reminder of TARTLE’s mission, vision, principles, and direction. &nbsp; TCAST is dedicated to constantly broadcasting the full truth. We don’t leave room for misinterpretation. Everybody on both sides gets the full picture. &nbsp; Our team members at TCAST understand that their work here goes beyond just getting compensated for their efforts. They are a part of a worldwide mission to speak the truth and empower individuals through data-driven initiatives. They are putting in the work to create a global family through TARTLE. &nbsp; Elevating Human Understanding &nbsp; Our long-term plans only focus on what can benefit our immediate circle. All our lives, we’ve been conditioned to think that we only ever have an impact on the ones around us. But TARTLE wants to expand our circle of influence to include the rest of the world. &nbsp; There are definitely barriers to opportunities for connection. This could be geolocation, personal perspectives, and knowledge of how the system works. The TCAST hopes to reduce these barriers by raising awareness on what the marketplace can do. It strives to provide a narrative of what has happened with data, backed by data. No advertisements or pesky side-trips while you listen. All we want to do is expose the truth and give people the opportunity to learn about it in their own time.&nbsp; &nbsp; Closing Thoughts &nbsp; Working for TCAST is an act of service. We’re not doing this to rise above the rest of humanity, but to rise with humanity as a collective. If we can help people find the strength to take control of their data and channel it to the causes they support, then our work has already succeeded. &nbsp; Join our team!
