Join Us
Join us in what may be the highest-leverage AI governance initiative underway: persuading key influencers of Trump's AI policy to champion a US-China-led global AI treaty—before the window closes.
In a Gist
The Coalition is small, fast-moving, and high-impact. We need capable people who can contribute expertise, connections, or time to help persuade key influencers of Trump's AI policy to champion a bold global AI treaty.
Volunteer: contribute research, writing, strategy, or outreach support—even a few hours per week matters at our scale.
Provide Introductions: If you have warm connections to our target influencers or their advisors, your introduction could unlock an entire pathway.
Share Expertise: Contribute domain knowledge to our Strategic Memo—whether in AI policy, geopolitics, diplomacy, religious institutions, or persuasion psychology.
Join as an NGO Member: if your organization shares our mission, formal membership amplifies both our collective reach and your organization's visibility.
Advise: Senior experts can join our Advisory Board, lending credibility and strategic guidance without day-to-day commitments.
Donate: Funding remains our biggest constraint. Even small amounts matter enormously at our $7.5K/month burn rate. See donation options →

Volunteer
We welcome contributors who can offer even 2-5 hours per week on:
Research — sourcing and analyzing influencer statements, speeches, and writings
Writing — drafting or editing sections of the Strategic Memo, blog posts, or outreach materials
Outreach support — helping coordinate meetings, follow-ups, or logistics for our Persuasion Tours
Communications — social media, newsletter, or website updates
Current priority needs: researchers fluent in Chinese media; writers with policy or diplomatic backgrounds; outreach coordinators with DC or Bay Area networks.
Our volunteer team has contributed over 2,100 hours of professional-level work since launch. See current team →
Provide Introductions
Our Strategic Memo profiles 10+ primary target influencers and dozens of secondary ones. A warm introduction to any of them—or to people in their inner circles—could be decisive.
Particularly valuable connections include:
JD Vance's policy advisors
Steve Bannon's network
Vatican officials close to Pope Leo XIV
Peter Thiel's network (Founders Fund, Palantir ecosystem)
Conservative media figures (Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan producers)
AI lab leadership (Anthropic, DeepMind, OpenAI policy teams)
Even indirect pathways help. Contact us confidentially to discuss what might be possible.
Share Expertise
Our Strategic Memo v2.6 drew on 24 contributors from the UN, NSA, WEF, Yale, Princeton, and leading AI safety organizations. Version 3.0 is in development.
We're seeking contributors with expertise in:
AI governance & policy — treaty mechanisms, verification regimes, enforcement models
Geopolitics — US-China relations, great power dynamics, diplomatic history
Religious institutions — Vatican diplomacy, evangelical networks
Persuasion & psychology — influence strategies, political communication

Contributors receive acknowledgment in the Memo and on our Contributors page.
