Kill the Precedent is built on no budget, by one person, in the margins of a fight that is still ongoing. Every dollar that comes in goes directly into getting this information into the hands of the people who need it.
This work is free to read, free to share, and free to use. That is a deliberate choice — information that only reaches people who can pay for it does not reach the caseworkers, the judges, the court-appointed attorneys, the survivors, or the communities this work is for. The website stays free. The training briefs stay free. The research stays free.
Getting stable means getting my kids home with something to come home to, finishing starting over, finding a civil rights attorney — and being freed up to invest everything into this work.
Contribute on GoFundMe → Read the Story →What costs money is getting it off a screen and into rooms. Printing training briefs and leaving them at courthouses. Getting informational packets into the hands of families navigating the system. Printing flyers for distribution in communities that need this information the most. Stickers that make the name visible in places the name needs to be. These are the immediate needs — and they are genuinely modest. Every single dollar donated right now goes to print and distribute.
High-volume, low-cost printing for the KTP manifesto newsletter and awareness flyers — designed for courthouses, community centers, libraries, laundromats, and anywhere families in crisis might find them. Every stack of flyers is a stack of information that costs the recipient nothing.
Printed versions of the KTP training curriculum — coercive control, neurodivergence, TBI, preemptive narrative control — delivered directly to child welfare agencies, family courts, and law enforcement training programs. The digital versions are free. The printed versions, delivered, require resources.
Comprehensive printed packets for families navigating CPS and family court — including the recording guide, rights information, coercive control explainers, and legal resources. Designed to be handed directly to survivors who do not have time to find information online and need it in their hand, now.
Kill the Precedent stickers for physical distribution — on laptops, water bottles, car windows, bulletin boards, and anywhere else the name needs to travel. Visibility creates conversations. Conversations create movement. Movement changes things.

Financial support is not the only way to move this work forward. If you have no money to give right now — especially if you are yourself navigating the systems this work addresses — these contributions are just as real.
Download the KTP manifesto newsletter and print it at a library, office, or home printer. Leave it somewhere a practitioner, a parent, or a decision-maker will find it.
