Protect It Together is a citizen-first, nonpartisan project that trades outrage for outcomes. We’re here to keep lawful free speech open—not by yelling louder, but by getting smarter together. Our simple idea: the public square stays healthy when regular people can disagree in daylight, and the fastest way to safeguard that space is with calm, verifiable, everyday actions. We verify before we act (screenshots, timestamps, links), we vote with our dollars (reward outlets that carry lawful viewpoints; pause support for those that don’t), and we measure results so anyone can see what worked. Patriotic? Absolutely. Partisan? No. This is civic pride with receipts.
Think of us as your practical civics kit.
The site bundles a 2-minute action toolkit.
We pair “Switch & Reward” tactics (support open carriers and their sponsors first) with “Pause & Notify” steps (temporarily withholding purchases from censoring platforms while telling them exactly, politely, why). When openness returns, so does our support. That’s accountability with a handshake.
Our north star is simple: protect the space to speak—rise above division. Protecting speech together means defending the right of others to speak so that your right endures, too.
