PAXIS: An AI Lifeline for Immigrant Rights and Support

Donation protected
PAXIS - WHEN ICE KNOCKS, WE ANSWER.
Together with immigrant advocates and AI experts, I’ve helped create PAXIS, a lifeline app built to protect families during ICE raids and citizens in a time of crisis.

I’m former Congressman Joe Walsh, and in collaboration with the Symbiquity Foundation we are building PAXIS as a multilingual, private, legal support AI for migrants, immigrants and citizens, accessible on basic mobile phones, so no matter what you hold in your hand, you have a chance to access guidance, calm, and legal clarity.

Today agents arrive masked, snatch people off the streets in unmarked cars, and deport them without hearings. Families vanish. Children are left crying. Misinformation gets distributed at scale while those who need clarity don’t have access to it.

PAXIS gives families a fighting chance and gives them a trusted channel for communication without distortion.

When ICE is at the door, seconds matter.

PAXIS delivers real-time guidance in emergencies — giving families clear steps, instant alerts, and access to legal support when they need it most. It also helps journalists cut through the flood of misinformation and disinformation on social media by providing verified rights information, so communities can act on truth instead of rumors.

PAXIS is more than just AI—it offers “collective intelligence”, a layer in between the AI and the Human, allowing the AI to work with 100% human alignment, beyond current AI capacity.

PAXIS is real––You can see the difference––we’ve simulated the PAXIS protocol on GPT for community feedback. Anyone with a GPT account can help with testing: → https://chatgpt.com/g/g-692c8652c8748191925aedb012bd4d03-p-a-x-i-s

With your support, we can launch PAXIS on our own infrastructure, out of the hands of big tech in just 30-45 days and put clarity and protection in the hands of those who need it most.

Building the platform is only the beginning.

For PAXIS to make a real impact, it must reach the very communities who are often the hardest to reach — those without access to tech, media, or legal advocacy.

That’s where you come in.

Your support doesn’t just fund the tech. It helps us build the community that carries it. PAXIS is community built, owned and operated. Community is what helps us REACH those who need it most.
Together, we’re creating a network of trust that can scale where no institution has, one that delivers protection through connection, and safety through solidarity.

WHAT WE NEED NOW AND WHAT WILL BE DELIVERED WITHIN 30-45 DAYS

We’re raising $25,000 to build the basic infrastructure and launch the first working version of PAXIS: mobile-ready access, multilingual with full AI legal support, free to the families who need it most.

PAXIS is designed to be accessed on any phone, not just the newest models, allowing it to work even on WhatsApp or social media channels.

On the backend, PAXIS will have its owned and operated LLM and GPU, off the big tech grid, with an interface for public access.

BUILDING PAXIS IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP
For this legal support lifeline to truly make an impact, it has to reach the people who need it most — families in crisis, migrants under threat, communities overwhelmed by fear and misinformation. That kind of reach isn’t automatic.

It takes real infrastructure: trusted delivery channels like WhatsApp and SMS, multilingual support, secure hosting, and strong connections with legal aid and immigrant support groups.

Without reach, even the most powerful technology will sit unused.
That’s why each fundraising milestone isn’t just about adding features — it’s about expanding access.

Consider; it may cost PAXIS .05 to reach one migrant–one donation of $25 allows us to reach five hundred people who need it.

With every dollar raised beyond our MVP goal, PAXIS grows in its ability to serve more people, in more languages, on more devices, with more resilience.

Here’s how the first $25k will be used:

  • Building the mobile + desktop platform interface.
  • Integrating full sense-making AI to bring clarity and reliability in every interaction.
  • Launching in multiple languages with perfectly accurate translation and interpretation, pushing beyond today’s tech limits.
  • Know your Rights scripts and access to full US Immigration Law
  • Connecting families with trusted legal and community resources.

But this campaign isn’t just about one launch. It’s the foundation of a project that will grow. This round of fundraising, led by Joe Walsh and others is the starting point.

From here, PAXIS will expand to reach more communities, more allies, and more voices who need clarity and protection, but will also expand into a content platform for the community, a collective intelligence network for brave citizens.

STRETCH WAVE OF GROWTH

As we grow, PAXIS reaches further — into more communities, more languages, and more moments of need, PAXIS expands beyond legal support and becomes a platform for trusted information in a time of crisis, a resource for journalists, and a place for community consensus building, a political, in a time of crisis.

  • $50,000 → Expands REACH!!! For every $25.00 donation we can reach five hundred people who need it most. Every $50,000 allows up to 1 million migrants, immigrants, and families to use it when they need it.

  • $75,000 → Allows us to expand legal, identify legal partners, expand our library to cover complex immigration scenarios and local jurisdictions. Integrates tools for direct legal advisor access and community allies, supporting deeper guidance across diverse regions and legal pathways, expanded reach to migrants.

  • $150,000 → Launches a journalist toolkit to help fight misinformation and verify facts during fast-moving events. Broadcasts reliable news updates, stripped of misinformation and disinformation, transforming PAXIS into a broadcast channel for reliable news in a time of crisis.

  • $300,000 → Collective Intelligence Engine for the community. Evolves PAXIS into a community brain — a live platform maintained by AI and human expertise. It becomes a crisis response channel, delivering legal aid, community alerts, verified updates, and multilingual clarity to millions at once.

  • $500,000 → Collective Intelligence Engine for the nation. Unlocks a real-time community decision platform for real-time collaboration — where immigrants and citizens work together to surface solutions in real-time. PAXIS becomes a consensus space for the nation, involving significant PR and marketing — where disinformation, bias, and political toxicity are replaced by collective clarity and lawful dialogue.
