People are tired of broken promises, distant decisions, and public money they cannot follow. Our Turn is built around proof instead.
Too many promises made to regular communities never arrive. City budgets are public but hard to read and harder to influence — Our Turn's ledger is built to be readable by anyone, and the spending is voted on, not just published. We're not here to be angry about it. We're here to build the alternative.
Every dollar that moves is recorded in a public ledger, down to the last cent — so anyone can check the math. Voters control the community goal fund — the founder cannot override how it's spent. The operations fund is just as open: every dollar is receipted in the ledger, the people vote on what it pays for, and leftover surplus flows automatically into the Legacy Fund — the founder cannot override it.
The plan — Community Builders would pay $25/month:
Goes to the community's voted goal — no person ever gets the money, it pays for the build. One goal at a time, funded in 30-day rounds: if it still needs funding, the town votes to keep going or move on. Every target has its upkeep and maintenance reserve baked in from the start.
Keeps the website running, pays the people doing the real-world execution, and grows the platform. The people vote on what it pays for — the founder cannot override it — leftover surplus flows automatically into the Legacy Fund, and every dollar is receipted in the open ledger like everything else.
Voting, submitting ideas, and participating are free. Memberships are not live yet — payments stay disabled until legal review is complete. The $20/$5 figures are the planned split of each $25 membership — payment processing fees come out first, and the exact numbers are still being worked out.
This is a projection, not a live balance — a what-if, not a promise. It uses the planned split: $20 to the goal fund, $5 to the team — payment processing fees come out first, so real payouts land below these numbers.
Not live — payments disabled until legal review.
“our mission is to use the youth's voice to better our community through proposed ideas and solutions that are filtered and voted on through the community not one politician's promises we create together we take action together”
