Informality. WE can't afford to sit this one out.
Lead the change the world deserves.
Year-End Campaign
An initiative led by passionate change makers with a human focus, with PanelGroupThought4Action — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
5.8 billion people, are affected by informality. The largest and least-recognized crisis of our time. You can be a part of its transformative solution.
Support the production and promotion of the immersive storytelling awareness campaign, centered on a powerful documentary, about Informality — a silent human trap touching 70% of humanity.
Not poverty. Informality: a systemic insecurity, lack of affordability, slow impoverishment — the inability to prove what you own, who you are, or what is owed to you. It is spreading. It is not only affecting the Global South. It is hollowing out the middle class in the First World too.
But transformation is possible. It has already happened for 40+ million humans. The solution is based on a proven, flexible method — Reality Check Analysis (RCA©).
Through the documentary stories, video-podcasts, and multi-audiovisual media, we invite everyone to explore all impacts of informality and its root cause. But most importantly, we want you to learn about its reversibility. See what almost no one else can show you: that there is a solution.
But we must act now.
Thank you. To everyone who has already trusted our enormous task and global mission: you gave us the room to move — and we moved further than we were expected.
Look what we accomplished, together:
• We launched the festival journey for our first 48-minute documentary — and already collected 5 recognitions from top-tier international film festivals, including 2 wins.
• Season 2 of the Reality Check with Élena video-podcast, hosting country leaders, and champions of informality transformation
• Moved from awareness to application — with over 50 senior policy-makers across four continents in active conversations, expressing interest in engaging with us on economic and social reform
• A 22-member Change Team of world-class experts, intellectuals, and leaders guiding our campaign
• 7 private screenings across 6 countries — in Europe, Asia, and Africa
The diagnostic is landing. Doors are opening. Now we must go further, faster.
One last push to close 2026 — help us meet five concrete goals.
We are not asking you to give again just because the year is ending. We are asking because we are within reach of five specific goals that will define the momentum we carry into 2027 — and we need this final effort to get there:
• Enter the 48’ documentary movie in 20 more festivals — taking 70% Informals to audiences and juries across every continent
• Host 5 more private screenings — curated for policy-makers, scholars, and civic leaders in the countries where the diagnostic is landing hardest
• Design convenings for decision-makers — spaces where they don’t just hear about informality but experience it, shape transformative policy
• Start preproduction for the feature-length film that lets viewers live through the crisis and its transformation – creating a real push for the need for change
• Continue building toward more episodes of session 2 of the video-podcast
Become part of the engine of change.
This is not a one-time transaction. It is a movement, and you are being invited to help drive it. Become a monthly partner. Become part of the engine of change. Whether $50 a month or a Transformation Partner commitment, your ongoing support is what turns a diagnosis into a movement — and a movement into a shift in the global economic model.
Every dollar brings us closer to a world where 5.8 billion people can finally step out of invisibility — into pride, security, and the middle class they have always deserved.
One country at a time.
