The people building accountability infrastructure.

Brittany Martin

Brittany is co-founder of Unrig USA and the architect of the Anti-Corruption Ecosystem Revolution — a project focused on building real accountability infrastructure in the United States. As a die-hard independent and career civic advocate, she has supported high-impact campaigns for Amnesty International, the ACLU, The Humane Society of the United States, Doctors Without Borders, and the ASPCA.

Her work sits at the intersection of organizing, nonprofit operations, and legal support — turning outrage about corruption into disciplined, lawful civic action. Through Unrig USA, she defends constitutional democracy by educating the public, mobilizing people around the Anti-Corruption Safeguards, and pressuring public officials to face real consequences when they betray the public trust.

Jacob Pagano

Jacob Pagano is the Co-founder and CEO of Unrig USA. By trade, he is a security engineer. He has spent his career identifying the weaknesses in systems before they can be exploited, and that same discipline now drives his civic work. The corruption threatening American democracy is not hidden. It is structural, and structures can be fixed.

Jacob founded Unrig USA out of a conviction that equitable outcomes are not accidental. They are engineered, or they don't happen. A system designed to serve the wealthy will serve the wealthy. His work is focused on redesigning that system: building the legal, civic, and institutional infrastructure that makes accountability the default, not the exception.

Through Unrig USA, Jacob applies the precision of his engineering background to the hardest problem in public life. He is working to ensure that government works for everyone who lives under it, not just those who can afford to influence it.

Matthew Demers

Matt believes that political corruption isn't just one issue among many — it's the lynch pin underlying every issue. Behind every failure to address pertinent issues, there's a powerful interest working to keep things exactly as they are. Until that changes, nothing else will.

Matt brings a rare combination of legal training, financial expertise, and operational discipline. He holds a JD from Chicago-Kent College of Law and a BS in Economics & Finance from the University of Texas at Dallas — a foundation that gives him a precise understanding of the systems that enable corruption and the regulatory frameworks meant to constrain it.

As COO, Matt is committed to building an organization as relentless and rigorous as the forces it's up against.

Kevin Coronado

Kevin is a financial advisor focused on supporting people of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other communities historically underserved by the financial system. His background includes years of advocacy work with marginalized groups — impoverished communities, queer and trans folks, people struggling with addiction, and immigrant families — helping them navigate complex systems with dignity and support.

He has served as treasurer for several campaigns across the country, chairs the Lawrence-Douglas County Public Health Board, sits on the board of Sporting Kaw Valley, and serves as treasurer of the Board of Kansas Holistic Defenders.

Kevin believes our children deserve to grow up in a world where integrity is the norm and public systems operate with transparency and honesty.

JC Gonzalez-Ramirez

JC is part of a family with five generations of American roots and Mexican upbringing. Emigrating to the U.S. wasn't immigration in the traditional sense — it was coming home to a country that was already his. That dual identity shaped how he learned to move between worlds and bring people together across cultural and ideological lines.

He has worked across politics, organizing, consulting, and program management in the Midwest — candidate campaigns, ballot initiatives, and independent expenditures. Starting in 2020, he was among the practitioners pioneering digital organizing as a serious field program strategy. He later carried those instincts into enterprise technology, building pipelines in 3D commerce and AI before the category had a mainstream name.

JC is the person you bring in when the gap between what's possible and what people are ready to believe needs closing.

Joy McCormick

Joy is a mother of three, born and raised Texan, and a United States Air Force veteran. She lives in the Austin area, where she organizes with communities to advocate for central Texans and veterans. She holds a B.A. in philosophy and has a longstanding passion for politics and history.

She joined this movement because it's paramount that our children are taught the fundamental principles of the Constitution — and understand why paying attention to politics is essential to the heartbeat of democracy. State and federal leaders have failed Americans for decades, and she is fighting to build a better world for the next generation.

Terri Petz, M.B.A.

Terri Petz has worn a lot of hats over the years — and she's loved every one of them.

Her professional roots run deep in healthcare and finance, where she spent years navigating the details that keep organizations running: supply chain administration, project management, and event planning. Terri is the kind of person who finds genuine satisfaction in bringing order to complexity and bringing people together around a shared purpose.

But life has a way of expanding you beyond your career. Terri is also a certified Holistic Wellness practitioner and hypnotherapist, passions born from a lifelong belief that healing — in all its forms — matters deeply. As a bereaved mom, she knows firsthand how isolating grief can be, which is why she dedicated herself to volunteering with and leading a local affiliate of a national grief support organization. Holding space for others walking that same road has been one of the most meaningful chapters of her life.

Terri is also a forever learner. She has studied history and sociology because she believes that understanding where we've been helps us make sense of where we're going. That curiosity spills into her work as a community builder and content creator, where she explores politics and current events — always looking for the human story underneath the headlines.

Whether she's supporting someone through loss, planning a community event, or sparking a conversation about the world we live in, Terri's goal is the same: to connect, to contribute, and to show up fully.

Rebekah Jones

Rebekah Jones is a Major Gifts Officer and Board Member of Unrig USA. Rebekah is a climate scientist, whistleblower, and writer known for her work advancing government accountability and data transparency. She believes that corruption is often sustained by a lack of knowledge and courage, two things Rebekah has become singularly known for in her public fight for social justice.

Rebekah brings a unique combination of scientific expertise and public sector experience to this effort. She holds dual degrees in Earth Science and Journalism from Syracuse University, along with a master’s degree with a major in geography and a minor in mass communication from Louisiana State University. Rebekah's doctoral work in Florida centered on paleotempestology.

As a former geospatial scientist for the Florida Department of Health, she built and managed the state’s COVID-19 data systems, giving her direct insight into how critical public data is produced — and how it can be compromised under political pressure. Since 2020, Rebekah has used her platform to advocate for government accountability. Rebekah worked to build disease surveillance systems in east Africa, run for Congress in 2022, work with immigrants on climate justice issues with AmeriCorps and CASA de Maryland, and serve as an oceanic and atmospheric advisor to Project Zero, a UN-backed NGO.

Her career spans environmental monitoring, disaster response, and disease surveillance, where she developed expertise in translating complex data into information the public can understand and use. After raising concerns about data integrity during the COVID-19 pandemic, she became an internationally recognized whistleblower, exposing the consequences of political interference in public health reporting, while amassing prestigious titles and awards, including a nomination for Nature's John Maddox Prize, the "Nobel of science advocacy."

Rebekah’s work is grounded in the belief that transparency is a prerequisite for accountability. She is committed to strengthening public access to information and ensuring that institutions entrusted with data are held to the highest standards of truth and integrity.

Monica Aksamit

Monica Aksamit is a Major Gifts Officer and Board Member at Unrig USA, an Olympic bronze medalist, content creator, model, and dedicated animal activist. Her journey has been shaped not only by her achievements, but by her willingness to confront difficult truths.

Throughout her athletic career, Monica witnessed firsthand the presence of corruption within her sport — an issue that has only intensified over time as fear of retaliation silences many who might otherwise speak out. Rather than accept the status quo, she chose to challenge it. That decision became a defining turning point, igniting a deeper commitment to transparency, accountability, and justice.

What began as frustration evolved into purpose. Monica’s experiences opened her eyes to broader systemic issues, fueling her passion for advocating against corruption in all forms. She has since expanded her voice beyond athletics, stepping into the political and social arena to raise awareness and inspire change.

Today, Monica uses her platform to speak for those who feel they cannot, combining her public presence with a mission to expose wrongdoing, support ethical reform, and protect vulnerable communities—including animals who rely on human integrity for their welfare.

Her work is driven by a simple belief: meaningful change only happens when people are willing to stand up, speak out, and refuse to be intimidated.
