Our campaign’s first target: disclosure laws that tell us when AI is simulating reality.
Political ads, product demos, endorsements, even avatars—
if it looks or sounds real, we should know when it’s synthetic.
That’s not censorship.
That’s clarity. 🧭

Change doesn’t come from “someday.”
It starts with people who refuse to accept “inevitable” as destiny.
