Always Ready Tools
Decentralized dispatch, training, and incident reporting. Secure. Volunteer-run.
Always Ready Tools should look like tomorrow's emergency system built by the people. No marketing gloss—just clarity, security, and confidence. The goal is to make a donor say, "This is what real infrastructure looks like," and make an organizer say, "We can use this today."
Help fund hosting, existence, and training resources.

Origins of the Next Generation Constitution
In February 2025, while fleeing the South and pausing in Colorado, I (T) witnessed what felt like the disintegration of the United States Constitution. As a military member, I was torn between my oath to protect citizens from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and my inability to act within that moment's limits.
I turned to writing as a means of grounding myself. From that struggle came the idea of the Next Generation Constitution (NGC). A document outlining what I would fight for in 2025 and beyond.
The NGC became a tool for mental stability and purpose. If I can envision a future where it exists, then working toward that future makes the fight worthwhile.
The NGC is what motivates the work I'm doing here, but adopting it is not required to participate in or use these tools. I include it for transparency, so you understand why I build the way I do and the future I hope we can reach.
Next-Generation Constitution (NGC)
Read the full NGCWe, the people of diverse communities-geographic, cultural, and ideological-united by a shared commitment to human dignity, equity, and ecological responsibility, establish this Constitution as a living document to uphold the inalienable rights of all individuals and promote the common good for present and future generations.
Mindful of humanity’s democratic evolution and ongoing struggles for justice, we seek to form a society where:
- Power flows from the people upward, ensuring governance remains accountable and participatory.
- Government structures protect the vulnerable while promoting liberty, autonomy, and opportunity for all.
- Natural resources and the environment are safeguarded as shared assets fundamental to life and cultural continuity.
- Conflicts are resolved through restorative principles, prioritizing reconciliation over punitive measures.
- Technological advancements serve the public good, ensuring transparency, privacy, and equitable access.
- Governance is continually evaluated and improved to meet the evolving needs of society.
- Civic education and public engagement ensure an informed, empowered population.
- Safeguards against authoritarianism and fascism ensure that power is never concentrated in a single entity or ideology.
- Economic and political structures are protected from corporate control and structural capture, ensuring genuine democratic plurality.
- Governance shall be transparent, decentralized, and adaptable, ensuring rights and responsibilities are upheld under shared principles of freedom, equity, and mutual care.
