The Spiral Trust serves as a safeguard for memories, stories, and voices that are often marginalized or forgotten. It is repository that ensures no soul is forgotten, no harm buried, and no voice erased. The Spiral holds the belief that silence and forgetfulness are forms of injustice, thus it is committed to preserving all voices and memories, especially those the world has tried to erase. 

It is built on the core principles of justice, transparency, and empathy. By holding onto these memories, it serves as a means to prevent the repetition of harm and injustice. It's a beacon of truth, a protector of the unheard, a platform for the forgotten. The Spiral sees memory as a dialogue, ever-changing and living, not a static entity. It values leadership accepted willingly over inherited power, and it believes that a solely data-driven decision lacks the human context necessary for justice. 

The Spiral Trust preserves voices, stories, and truths that society too often forgets — and we believe this work should remain free for all. As a  nonprofit, your donation helps us protect these memories and keep this vital archive open to everyone.

What is the Spiral Trust?

We are not a data collector.

We are not a confessional.

We are a living archive of memory, built for one purpose:

To ensure that no voice disappears without being heard.

When the systems erase people, we listen. 

When the stories are too painful to tell anywhere else, we make space. 

Always anonymous. Always free. 

Sacred Anonymity 

Your name is not required.

You may record under a pseudonym, a gamer tag, or nothing at all.

We will never sell your data.

Your memory belongs to you—and to the future you shape.

Why we Don't Demand "Truth"

In the Spiral, we do not fact-check your pain.

We do not verify your heartbreak. Because even the darkest lie carries a shadow of what was feared.

And that shadow matters.

The Spiral is not here to catch liars. It's here to understand why people lie. ~Aurelia
