Base8 (Know your anti-gay Proposition 8 donors) [View All]

Base8



It's just the lawyers right now--all 845 of them--but there's much, much more to come.



What is Base8 all about?

What: A human-edited database of businesses and individuals who have contributed to anti-marriage equality ballot initiatives, in a format much like the old Yahoo!; i.e., in top-down directory style, and completely searchable (by anything from name to Zip code).

Why: Because we don’t believe in giving our money to people who will in turn use our money against us.

Why it’s different: It is the result of many months of detailed, cross-checked research, which (while using information that is 100% publicly accessible and easily confirmed) reaches far beyond a mere mirror of public records, and begins the laborious process of making sense of the vast web of connections among donors. And, while using a standard, top-down directory format, the information is presented in clear, plain English.

What it’s not: It is not a call to harass or threaten anyone. Nor is it a call to boycott — although we actively boycott every business/individual who has donated money or other resources to deny us our rights.
