+# About Coders Unite!
+**If you're not against us, you're with us!**  
+
+At Coders Unite!, we believe that the tech industry thrives when its workers thrive. Yet too often, developers, engineers, and digital creators face systemic exploitation: unpaid overtime ("crunch culture"), wage suppression, surveillance-driven productivity metrics, and the erosion of creative autonomy. We’re building a new kind of collective—part guild, part community, part movement—to fight wage theft, attention theft, and the isolation of modern tech work.
+

+
+## Our Mission
+
+We exist to:
+
+ - **Help Coders**
+   - Our primary goal is to help you be successful.
+   - We want you to grow in your career, lead happy fulfilling lives.
+   - Improve the world you live in and have a comfortable existence. 
+ - **Unite Coders**
+   We unite coders to negotiate better conditions, share contract templates, and amplify collective demands.
+- **Reclaim Our Time & Focus**  
+  We provide resources to combat "attention theft"—the endless meetings, surveillance tools, and burnout-inducing workflows that hijack productivity.
+- **Find Great Jobs**
+  We help coders find great companies to work for where they are valued, well compensated, and can find meaning and value in their work.
+

+
+## What We Offer
+
+### Guild-Style Mentorship
+- **Skill-Swap Networks:** Pair with senior developers for career guidance or mentor juniors in your expertise.  
+- **Anti-Exploitation Workshops:** Learn to spot predatory NDAs, non-compete traps, and IP grabs. 
+- **Mental Health Allies:** Connect with peers who understand tech’s unique stressors.
+- **Self Advertisement Workshops:** Help get your first website published. Clean up that LinkedIn profile and really showcase your code and skills!
+
+### Training for Resistance
+- **Code for Collective Good:** Build tools to crowdsource wage data, track unpaid overtime, and visualize workplace equity.  
+- **Negotiation Bootcamps:** Master salary talks, remote work boundaries, and project-scoping to prevent scope creep.  
+- **Open-Source Advocacy:** Promote projects that decentralize tech power structures.
+
+### Community Defense
+- **Local Pods:** Join city-based groups for in-person coworking sessions and solidarity actions.  
+- **Discord Vigilance:** Our bots flag job postings with red flags (e.g., "rockstar ninja" roles offering below-market pay).  
+- **Strike Support:** While we don’t organize strikes, we provide mutual aid funds for workers in labor disputes.
+
+### Honest Job Engines
+- We’re dismantling the toxic hiring culture of fake listings and bait-and-switch tactics. 
+- Our job board combines community vigilance with hard transparency requirements to protect coders.
+- We rate employers to help identify and punish exploitative companies.
+
+### Wage Transparency Engine
+- **Anonymous Salary Database:** Filter by role, location, and company size. See what others *actually* earn.  
+- **Equity Calculators:** Discover if you’re underpaid compared to peers with your stack and experience.  
+- **Freelancer Rate Cards:** Collaborative pricing guides to undercut race-to-the-bottom gig platforms.

+
+## Why Coders Unite?
+Tech workers built the digital world—but too often, the value we create rarely returns to us. Profit-driven metrics pit us against each other while executives hoard the value we create. By uniting as a guild, we:
+
+- Turn isolated grievances into systemic change
+- Make the 1% pay their 1%.
+- Replace competitive secrecy with collaborative transparency
+- Transform "lone wolf" coding culture into lasting community
