Contribute to Activist Checklist

 Last updated on April 21, 2026

We are a small, all-volunteer open-source project.

We have a whole site dedicated to helping contributors get started on the project: Activist Checklist Contributor Guide.

Getting oriented

New to contributing? Read the overview, code of conduct, and privacy notes in the guide.

Also on the guide: Code of conduct · Protecting your privacy

Make a suggestion

You can make a suggestion for the site by creating an issue on Github (requires a GitHub account) or through our contact form.

Editing and writing

We need help with editing existing guides and writing new ones.

We maintain a living list of guide ideas and priorities on the wiki to see what we’re hoping to publish next. If one of these interst you, please help us write it.

Also: Using the visual editor · Style guide · Page structure and formatting · Writing a guide from scratch

Translating

All of our translations are automatic. What we need your help with is editing and approving the automatic translations. We coordinate human review of translations on Crowdin. The guide explains the workflow and what “reviewed” means on the live site.

Coding

There are a lot of open issues on GitHub that you can help with.

Also: Create an anonymous GitHub account • Anonymous commits

Other ways you can contribute

Beyond writing, translating, and code, we occasionally need help with social media, copy editing, UX feedback, graphic design, security review of guides as tools change, and getting the word out (toolkits, networks, workshops, and hosting a security party). If one of these fits you, contact us.

Hosting and translation work have real costs. Get in touch if you want to help fund the project. We do not have a public donation system yet; contributions are not tax-deductible.
