A Humanity Systems project
We believe every community already holds much of what it needs, and neighbors should be able to share it more efficiently.
Why this matters
Lots of us have things to share, like extra food, tools, or skills. But there’s rarely a place to swap them with the people who live near us.
Indoor markets, run by locals, where neighbors trade food, goods, and services.
Trade what you have for what you need, even when money is tight.
Anyone in the community can join, whatever they have to offer.
Who we are
We’re a California nonprofit building alignment between humanity and the technology we create. We study how we shape technology and how it shapes us, we share what we learn, and build tools to make that relationship better.
Community markets is one of five programs we’re working on. Each one answers a problem all of us live with.
Founded in 2026 by Adam Tucker, David Satossky, and Matthew Leebert. Based in San Diego, California.
This is a future idea.
Your donation helps us plan the first market and build the relationships that will keep it going.

The problem
Most of us use AI every day without any independent, public record of how it behaves.
Our solution
How we hold AI to account
We believe all of us deserve to know how the AI tools we use every day actually behave.
What we’re building: A free public record of how the 20 most widely used AI models behave in healthcare, finance, and hiring.
The problem
AI is changing our lives and it’s difficult to keep up.
Our solution
How we understand what’s happening
We believe everyone, including the people writing the rules, deserves an honest, simple explanation of AI, without the hype or the fear.
What we’re building: Plain-language guides and an explainer series for the public, and briefings for the lawmakers writing the rules on AI.
The problem
Social media taught us to fight, and our voices rarely reach the people who decide.
Our solution
How we talk and decide together
We believe that most conflicts are misunderstandings and could be avoided if our intentions were understood. And when we do agree, we need a way to turn that shared view into something actionable.
What we’re building: Two free tools: one that helps us understand what someone meant before we react, and one that turns what a community agrees on into a clear message officials have to answer.
The problem
Our content is being sold without consent or compensation.
Our solution
How we share value fairly
We believe anyone who wants to use our work should ask us first and pay us fairly.
What we’re building: A marketplace where anyone who wants to use our content has to ask first and pay fairly.
