Support the fight against junk mail.
In addition to participating in our big mailing events, we invite you to support the junk mail revolt in the following ways.
Donate money.
While we do not currently accept donations, we will in the near future.
Your donations will allow us to keep fighting the good fight against junk mailers and their well-funded, well-organized advocates. Your generosity will empower us to grow organizationally, mobilize more people, and undertake exciting new campaign strategies that might just put an end to junk mail once and for all.
One thing is certain: we can't do it without your help.
Donate time & energy.

Donate brainpower.
Put that cerebral cortex to good use and brainstorm for us. Find a quiet room, put pen to paper, and let your mind run wild. A few questions to get you started:
How might we more effectively combat junk mail? What are some creative ways to reach a wider audience and get folks more involved in our campaign? How can we improve the website and our current approach? What other questions should we be asking?
Don't worry about whether your ideas are good or bad, practical or crazy. Brainstorm without judgment, then share with us. We want to hear it all.
