Research notes
A service with an outreach message, not a media campaign proper. Credits checked 2026-10-22 against fetched pages: Sarah Joy Albrecht and Genevieve M. Jones (Albrecht's Sept 2019 Pennsylvania Senate testimony: 'an organization I founded in 2018, along with my friend Genevieve M. Jones'; Recoil profile also credits Albrecht with the idea). Corrected 2026-10-22: Albrecht source changed from Recoil to the testimony, which states the 2018 founding; Jones added as co-founder. Reuse terms checked 2026-10-23 by an AI research pass for #47; not yet reviewed by a person.
