CONTENT WE DO NOT ACCEPT
-
Content that is disrespectful, intimidating, hostile, belittling, degrading, humiliating, or threatening to one individual or a group will not be accepted.
-
Content created to gain attention by posing inflammatory, extraneous, off-topic discussion with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response.
-
Articles that discriminate against any views or have defamation and hate speech and have personally-identifying information.
-
Some content such as medical or legal advice must have disclaimers so that the reader knows their responsibility to seek care to address their personal needs.
-
We are a nonpartisan group and will not accept articles that are misleading or directed at one political party. We accept content that informs readers of legislation and encourages participation in civic engagement. We ask that the article be factual and leave out personal opinions about the individuals. This content should be sourced with documents and links to the legislation/hearing/etc.
-
Articles that are written as ads or for solicitation of funds. Fight For Zero does team up with brands that align with our mission. Please email our team if interested in providing our readers with a discount, hosting a giveaway, or affiliate link.

-
Please send anywhere from 2-50 original high-resolution images for us to consider

Images should be high-resolution digital images, all individuals (no collages)
-
Photos should be big, bright, and sharp, with no timestamps or watermarks. Low-quality images or out-of-focus images cannot be used.

-
