We refuse to be coerced out of our tenant rights,
civil rights, disability rights, or human rights.
We are survivors of economic violence and
systemic indifference.
So instead of waiting for justice,
we engineered it ourselves.
Whether it's $5, $50, or $500 —
Every dollar directly powers legal pressure and reclamation.

We're using Ko-fi during this soft launch while our full payment infrastructure is being finalized.
Every dollar helps us reclaim our property and build a replicable model for others.
Founded by Felice + Joe, this fund was born from lived experience.
We are currently mid-case, victims of an active FELONY crime: with one pair of shoes to Felice's name, her recording + film equipment, Joe's essential medical equipment for his stroke recovery and a whole household of their personal property—all stolen.
This isn't theoretical. This is a fight for survival against crimes classified by Attorney General Bonta as grand theft and coercion under CA PC 418, 487, and 518. The legal frameworks exist—but the system refuses to enforce them.
These violations happen every day: illegal lockouts, uninhabitable housing, mold exposure, ADA violations, racial discrimination, wrongful terminations, wage theft, and contractor exploitation.
The cost? Lives derailed. Jobs lost. Health destroyed. Generational wealth permanently stolen.
Litigation funding has existed for decades—but only the rich have access. It's a billion-dollar industry. Hedge funds fund lawsuits and take home returns—while the rest of us can’t even afford to file.
We’re flipping the script. This fund isn’t just for us—it’s a test of what happens when people get the tools the 1% has always used.
The Decentralized Litigation Fund is the first rapid fund built to move faster than the system wants us to.
We use people-powered tools to fund cases for those most often erased or ignored. For Felice + Joe, this began as a personal legal battle—and became an insurgent model for accessible justice.
This fund is a prototype. We're testing a new infrastructure where mutual aid builds long-term equity, not just temporary relief.
While this page supports our case directly, it's also a blueprint.
We're building toward a future where mutual aid builds equity—not just for legal outcomes, but for community survival.
We're actively building a pipeline of community-led cases—five and growing—including police obstruction, housing retaliation, healthcare denial, and systemic financial abuse.
