Join the movement

Four ways to get involved in the revolution of discernment and citizen oversight of public action. All rest on one rule: courtesy and intellectual honesty.

Each commitment has its annual dues, renewed every year: founding member 50 000 F CFA, Friend of the Star 10 000 F CFA, patron of the City from 100 000 F CFA. A reminder is sent before the due date.

Your dues fund the civic activities of the L'Étoile et la Cité think tank and of the Association of Senegalese Taxpayers and Consumers (ACCS): seminars, reflection work (universities, watch chronicles, debates) and case follow-up (civic audit, citizen land registry, consumer protection). No public subsidy, no political funding.

The charter of courtesy and intellectual honesty

  1. No invective. We examine ideas, facts and structures; never people.
  2. Factual arguments. Every important claim rests on a source, a figure, a document.
  3. Intellectual honesty. We quote faithfully, admit our mistakes and correct them.
  4. Respect for opponents. We can disagree completely and remain courteous.
