About the Network
The Modern Movement Network is a nonpartisan, volunteer-run civic technology platform with three connected properties:
- YouCanSayNo.org — public opposition platform exposing harmful corporate projects with sourced pollution metrics, corporate accountability rankings, and community voting
- ICanSayYes.org — community proposal and voting platform where citizens propose real, specific measures for governing bodies to act on
- TheModernMovement.org — the member hub, admin platform, and community backbone
We accept no corporate funding. We run no advertising. We are powered by Supabase (open-source database), Vercel (hosting), and the conviction that communities have the right to fight back.

About The Modern Movement Network

The Network accepts no corporate funding, runs no advertising, and does not sell user data. All issue data is sourced to public records, permit filings, or investigative journalism. The Network was founded on the belief that enough ordinary people, organized around a clear and verifiable message, can still change things.
