Support

Quiet Americans launched on March 24, 2025 — the anniversary of the first Civilian Exclusion Order — as an independent, self-funded project. Every story you see here is researched, written, and produced through volunteer time and personal expense.

As an independent project, Quiet Americans has the freedom to explore stories that are complex, uncomfortable, or overlooked, without being shaped by institutional priorities.

If you find value in this work, your support helps keep these stories public and allows the project to continue.

With quiet appreciation,
Phil Mimaki
The Quiet Americans Team
