About Stand With Meg

What the registry is

The Family Rights Survey collects family-submitted experiences, then summarizes them into public dashboards, state reports, and court-actor pattern tools. The public pages are built to help families, advocates, and lawmakers see repeated issues by state and system.

Family submissions are allegations and lived experiences unless a public record independently supports stronger wording. Stand With Meg does not publish submitter identities and does not present individual submissions as court findings.

How public naming works

Court actors are only displayed publicly after repeated trusted family reports meet the public threshold. Extracted or unreviewed rows stay admin-only until they are promoted or independently confirmed through the project workflow.

Sponsors and partners support public-interest reporting. They do not control editorial decisions, family submissions, court-actor thresholds, or report language.

What families can use it for

Families use the dashboard and reports to understand whether their experience is isolated or part of a broader pattern. Advocates can point lawmakers, reporters, and community leaders to aggregate data without exposing a family's private story.

The project is not a law firm, emergency service, or case strategy provider. It is a documentation and public-reporting project built around family-submitted data, careful thresholds, and privacy-aware publishing.

How the work is funded

Stand With Meg is supported by donations, sponsors, and mission-aligned partner work. Funding helps cover hosting, data storage, email delivery, report generation, and the review workflows needed to keep public pages careful and usable.

Sponsors do not buy access to family submissions and do not decide which court actors appear. Public naming follows the registry workflow, not sponsor preference.

That separation matters because families need to know the record is built from their reports, not from whoever funds the platform.
