## What is Outcry?

Outcry is a private, on-device AI mentor for activists, organizers, and movement builders. No cloud. No accounts. No tracking. Your conversations never leave your phone.
Created by Micah Bornfree, PhD — co-creator of Occupy Wall Street and author of THE END OF PROTEST — Outcry thinks like an organizer, not a corporate chatbot.

WHAT ORGANIZERS USE IT FOR
• Campaign strategy: plan direct actions, marches, and escalation timelines
• Speech and proposal writing: draft rally speeches, funder pitches, coalition letters
• Movement theory: explore frameworks from Sharp to Turchin to the Combahee River Collective
• Tactical problem-solving: messaging, media strategy, fundraising, legal questions
• Deep strategic dialogue: many users run 50–100+ message conversations on a single organizing challenge

HOW IT WORKS
1. Download once. The AI model lives on your device — that's why the install is large and that's why it's private.
2. Open Outcry. Start a conversation. No login, no email, no phone number.
3. Talk like you would to a trusted senior organizer. Outcry responds with strategy, history, and concrete next steps.

BUILT FOR ACTIVISTS WHO TAKE SECURITY SERIOUSLY
