Self-Hosted Public-Interest Infrastructure

We Host Our Own Infrastructure Down to the Bare Metal

USCM is building public-interest technology on infrastructure we control: physical servers, local storage, GPUs, backups, networking, and evidence-processing systems. That means donations do not just pay for temporary cloud usage — they help build lasting capacity for Watchman, App Development, AI/OCR/transcription/redaction workstations/processing, privacy infrastructure, and long-term public-record preservation.
