Organization Hubs · Independent source pages
Start with the organization’s own work.
Each hub identifies a real organization, links to its own public sources, summarizes the work SOV can verify, and shows how Seeds of Vice can be useful around that work without claiming affiliation, endorsement, or authority to speak for the group.
Use the hubs differently depending on who you are.
If you are the organization
Use the page as an independent source-and-record layer around your public work. Your campaigns, instructions, membership, fundraising, and positions remain on your own channels. Send corrections or current-work updates when the public record changes.
If you support or study the work
Start with the organization’s own sources. Then use SOV for state context, authority maps, primary documents, documentation methods, and later institutional outcomes.
If you disagree with the organization
The same standard applies. The hub should state the organization’s own position accurately, attribute contested claims, and make the surrounding public record available for independent comparison.

Inclusion means SOV can verify that a real public organization exists and that its public work matters to the field. It does not mean agreement. The organization’s own site controls its positions and instructions. Seeds of Vice controls only the accuracy, sourcing, context, and correction process on its own pages.
