Hello! The first thing you need to know is that we created this form before we moved to an open-source model. These days, local groups are independently created, and group leaders are the only ones who can answer for themselves or address community issues. If you are trying to reach us regarding issues in a local group, we will not be able to reply. The Buy Nothing Project acts as an international resource for people who want to set up their own gift economies, but these groups are all locally created and managed. Local group leaders are solely responsible for what happens in their groups.

We can only reply to questions about our mission, open source documents, philosophy, and history. If you are trying to reach us about any of these subjects, please contact us through our email address: thebuynothingproject@gmail.com and we will reply as promptly as we can. Because we all volunteer our time on this project, it may be a while before you hear from us.

If you have an issue that can't be resolved, we encourage you to visit our Member Resources page here: https://buynothingproject.org/member-resources/

You can also set up a new group of your own. Please visit this page on our website to get started today: https://buynothingproject.org/start-a-group/

If you need help finding an existing group to join, please visit this page on our website: https://buynothingproject.org/find-a-group/

Thanks for your understanding.
