Personal Integrity Statement
This page exists so that anyone deciding whether to trust Seven Years of Change can see the standards it is held to, in writing, in one place.
7YOC should be judged by its public values, its structure, its transparency, and its usefulness to people, communities, and the planet. Nothing on this page asks anyone to ignore truth, excuse harm, or follow one person without accountability.
Sourcing
No number appears on this site unless a reader can rebuild it from sources cited on the same page. Where a figure comes from federal data, the agency is named. Where a claim is contested, the dispute is stated. Where something cannot be verified, it is not published.
If you find a figure on this site you cannot trace to its source, write to connect@sevenyearsofchange.org and it will be corrected or removed.
Money
Seven Years of Change is free. The plan is published and given away. No one pays to use it, and no one needs permission.
There is no investment product here. There is no return promised to anyone. The five dollar community membership share is not a security and is not an investment. Nothing flows upward to the founder. He holds no ownership stake in any community project built with this framework and takes no cut of any Nutrition Hub.
If any person ever tells you Seven Years of Change will multiply your money, you are being deceived by that person. Walk away and report them.
Named people
Some pages include personal recollections about people I knew, public figures I admire, or leaders I have invited into public conversation. Those references are made for memory, commentary, education, and public invitation only.
Unless expressly stated in a signed public document, no person, family, estate, foundation, campaign, company, organization, school, military unit, or household named on this site has endorsed, sponsored, funded, approved, reviewed, advised, or agreed to participate in Seven Years of Change.
Family members, authorized representatives, or people directly affected by a reference may request a correction, clarification, or removal by writing to connect@sevenyearsofchange.org.
Minors
No minor is enrolled, named, quoted, photographed, or referenced in any public material on this site, and none will be.
What this platform will not do
I will not use this platform to attack students, families, schools, agencies, or private individuals. I will not turn 7YOC into a public courtroom. I will protect minors, respect legal process, and correct the record through counsel where appropriate.
There are personal, professional, and legal matters involving me that I cannot discuss publicly. Some claims about me are false. Some material online uses my name but was not made by me and is not mine. The only account I have ever run is LinkedIn. Anything else under my name is being handled through counsel.
This page is not a request for anyone to contact, pressure, investigate, confront, tag, message, or speak about any student, family, school, agency, employer, individual, or organization connected to any personal or legal matter involving me. Please do not do it.
The standard
The work of Seven Years of Change is larger than my reputation. It is about whether communities can build systems for food, care, housing, transportation, healing, work, local ownership, and environmental repair that help people now.
The earlier writing that led to this platform is still public. Where it differs from what we publish now, we have said so.
