View verified media in the Protest Pulse feed showing real-time documentation from trusted sources.
Accountability Profiles
Evidence-based civic accountability for individuals, organizations, and institutions.
Submit evidence (court records, journalism, official documents, first-hand accounts) about individuals, organizations, agencies, companies, public figures, or private citizens when evidence meets RallyAid's public-interest, corroboration, and safety standards.
Evidence is reviewed by a Community Jury and moderated by RallyAid staff before becoming publicly visible — single-source accusations never pass the corroboration gate.
Profiles display a neutral Public Concern Index and Corroboration Score — not findings of guilt. All language is factual and evidence-attributed.
Private citizen profiles require heightened moderation review and a higher evidence threshold. Personal disputes, revenge submissions, and low-level personal conflicts are not eligible.
Company, role, and city information may appear on profiles only when relevant to the public-interest concern and approved through moderation. RallyAid prohibits doxxing, employer-targeting abuse, and publication of sensitive personal information.
AI manipulation risk detection flags altered or AI-generated media for mandatory manual review before it can be weighted.
Any featured individual or entity can submit a formal Right of Response, which is published alongside the evidence for full transparency.
Correction, dispute, and removal requests are handled by human moderators — not automated systems.
