"In my younger years, I marched on the streets for change with my hands clenched at my sides. In my middle years, I stood silent in front of buildings for change, with my hands clenched in fists raised over my head. In these, my older years, my hands are open, on my keyboard, typing for change. Our words are our voices, our voices are our votes. Like 90for90 gathers voters, the Community Transcripts Project collects our words and sentences, connecting us all."

About the Community Transcripts Project
We create transcripts of important progressive speeches and interviews which would otherwise not be transcribed. Our purpose is to support many individuals and groups. We crowd-source funds to pay our skilled Kossack transcriptionists more than a living wage. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us by kosmail or email.

Suggestions: If you suggest a speech for transcription, please tell us your reasons for nominating the recording and include the name of the speaker(s), the URL where the primary video is posted or the source, the name of the organization that hosted the original website, the date of the original recording, and the title of the speech.
