Community Organisers & Mutual Aid

Your community.
One home.
Built to last.

You are running your mutual aid network, neighbourhood response group, or community organisation across WhatsApp, Facebook, email, and a spreadsheet you built yourself. This is what genuine community looks like when it has the right tools: one encrypted, governed, accountable home for everything — and every man and woman in it known, vouched, and accountable.

The problem every organiser knows

Everything scattered.
Nothing connected.

Community organising is hard enough without your tools working against you. Five platforms, none of which talk to each other, all harvesting your community's data.

📱

Critical information lost in WhatsApp chat history

What's happening right nowImportant decisions, resource lists, and contact details scroll off the screen. New members have no access to anything that happened before they joined.
On ETCEvery decision is recorded, searchable, and accessible to all members. New joiners have full access to the community archive. Nothing important gets lost in a chat scroll.
📘

Facebook knows everything about your organisation

What's happening right nowYour mutual aid group, your rights response network, your community organisation — all coordinated on Facebook, which logs every message, every member, every interaction for its advertising business. What your community generates should stay with your community.
On ETCEnd-to-end encrypted groups mean your community's coordination is visible only to your members. No corporation monitors who your activists are or what your response network is planning.
📊

Volunteer coordination requires a spreadsheet and a prayer

What's happening right nowYou have a spreadsheet tracking who can do what. Another for who has a van. None of them are up to date and only you can find them.
On ETCVolunteering module tracks skills, availability, and contributions. Project management handles coordination. The community map shows who is where. Everything is connected.
🗳️

No legitimate way to make collective decisions

What's happening right nowDecisions happen in the loudest WhatsApp chat. There is no formal process, no record of what was agreed, and no way to challenge a decision legitimately.
On ETCFormal proposals, binding votes, and a permanent decision record. One member, one vote. Every decision archived. When something needs to change, there is a legitimate process to change it.
How community organisers use ETC

Replace five tools
with one community home.

Everything your organisation needs — communication, coordination, governance, mutual aid, and emergency response — in one encrypted, accountable platform.

1

Join through a personal introduction

Someone who knows you and is already in the community invites you. You join as a known man or woman. Every member is personally accountable to the man or woman who vouched for them.

2

Find your community groups

Browse and join the groups relevant to you — neighbourhood response, mutual aid, skills exchange, local governance. All end-to-end encrypted.

3

Contribute your skills and capacity

List your skills and availability in the volunteering module. Coordinate through project management. Your contributions are tracked and rewarded in Unity Pounds or LETS credits.

4

Participate in community governance

Vote on proposals that affect your community. Your vote is equal to every other member's. Every decision is recorded and transparent.

5

Respond when your community needs you

Emergency alerts reach you when something happens in your area. The beacon lets you respond to neighbours in crisis. Your community response is coordinated, not chaotic.

6

Build relationships that last

Community built on vouching and trust. The men and women you help remember you. The men and women who help you are known and accountable.

A mutual aid network that made the move

Marcus's network.
80 members. Off Facebook entirely.

Marcus ran a mutual aid and community response network across three Facebook groups and four WhatsApp threads. During a local flooding event, he spent more time trying to find information in chat history than actually coordinating the response.

He moved the entire network to ETC over a weekend. Every member was personally invited through existing relationships. Within a month, they had a structured governance process for decisions, a volunteer skills register, and a coordinated emergency response protocol.

The first test came three months later — a factory fire affecting sixty households. Within 12 minutes of the emergency alert, 23 volunteers had responded with their locations and skills. The response was coordinated before the fire brigade arrived.

We were coordinating flood response on Facebook. Meta's servers were logging everything about our activists and our plans. Moving to ETC wasn't just practical — it felt like taking our community back.

You are joining a community — not just downloading an app

ETC is a Private Members Association — a community of real, vouched men and women organising together. The platform is the tool we use to do that. Your founding membership funds both: the community and the software that serves it. No outside investors. No advertisers. No data sold.

Find your community.
Bring them home.

No commitment yet — just tell us you're interested. We'll reach out when beta access opens for your area.

You're on the list ✓

We'll be in touch when ETC opens in your area.
If you know someone who'd benefit — tell them.
Your vouch is the most valuable thing you can give them.

⚠ Use your real name. This is the name your community will know you by — once you join, your name and email are permanent identifiers and cannot be changed. False or fake names are grounds for removal from the Private Members Association.
Please do not skip this field if someone introduced you. Without a referral code: you will not benefit from the first month free offer, the man or woman who told you about ETC will not receive their £4 referral reward, and you will join at probationary trust level rather than as an introduced member. If you have lost your code, contact the man or woman who referred you or email hello@etcapp.net before submitting.
