For Immediate Release

Austin, TX — [June 2, 2026]

Unruled Masses today announced the official launch of Corruption Intelligence, a groundbreaking core program designed to arm journalists, researchers, policymakers, and everyday citizens with deep-dive investigative briefings paired with historically proven, nonviolent civic action tools to dismantle systemic abuse.

Building on the organization’s digital footprint, the Corruption Intelligence program moves beyond traditional journalism by pairing rigorous, structural analysis with immediate, actionable solutions. The program debuts with an aggressive slate of investigative intelligence briefings targeting deep-seated institutional corruption:

These briefings, following approved tradecraft methodology of the intelligence community, exposes the reoccurring patterns, structural engineering, and corporate capture behind modern corrupt systems, explicitly mapping out how the actions of corrupt actors directly impact the daily lives of ordinary people.

"Exposing the problem is only half the battle; the real fight is organizing the response," said Nick Van Zandt, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Unruled Masses. "The Corruption Intelligence program doesn't just document systemic abuse, it hands everyday people the concrete, historically tested civic tactics needed to disrupt these corrupt networks."

Crucially, the program ensures that no reader is left on the sidelines. Every intelligence briefing is directly integrated with real-world response tactics, allowing citizens to transition seamlessly from understanding a systemic flaw to executing targeted, nonviolent civic actions.

"We have structured this intelligence to connect the dots between high-level systemic corruption and local community impact," noted Dr. Honey Minkowitz, co-Chief Editor. "It bridges the gap between complex investigative research and accessible community mobilization."

"By analyzing the underlying architecture of these abuses, we provide journalists and policymakers with the structural framework needed to understand these crises," added Dr. Douglas Rivero, co-Chief Editor. "Simultaneously, we ensure communities are armed with the exact playbook required to fight back."

The public, media, and civic leaders are invited to access the newly launched Corruption Intelligence program today. To explore the inaugural briefings and utilize the Action Playbook to join the fight against corruption, visit https://unruledmasses.org/.
