Hemp-Lime Retrofit Guild 3,144 Initiative - United States
New York is claimed. NY, Ulster County, and Kingston are actively building the model. Every other state is open.
The Fastest Path to Income
The first person to claim a state is positioned to lead at the State, County, and Municipal level simultaneously — three revenue streams on one Executive seat license.
- Earn 10% of all seat license fees collected across every level you lead for the first 365 days — income that grows as your network grows
- Advertising revenue from local sponsors — banks, architects, suppliers, and service providers paying for targeted community placement
- Public Benefit Contracts — equity and cash flow on every tool, process, product, or service created under your leadership
Why Hemp-Lime. Why Now.
99% of homes are already built. Millions need serious upgrades. Hemp-lime is the reliable, bio-based retrofit answer — it insulates, breathes, and regulates moisture through diffusion and evaporation, reducing the environment where mold and mildew thrive.
An estimated $17 billion in US mold-related lawsuits represents money actively looking for a healthy solution. Architects need reliable teams. Banks need insurable processes. In NY, hemp-lime saved a homeowners 30% on energy — over $450/mo. in winter 2026 — and financing the retrofit costs less than the energy saved.
The 2024 International Residential Code includes hemp-lime under Appendix BL. The code pathway is open. 3,144 counties need local leaders to activate it.

Hemp-lime construction is in the 2024 International Residential Code. Getting it adopted in all 3,144 US counties is the next step — and it requires organized local teams, not email campaigns. That is why we built this network.
A guild is the right structure for this work. Every brand, contractor, researcher, and supplier in a region can collaborate under a shared name, combining technology, skilled labor, and human-guided AI to build local expertise. Public benefit and CO2 impact are the metrics that drive the work.
Every US county follows the same legislative process. Learning it once through hemp-lime gives your team a repeatable skill that works for any civic initiative — zero waste, food systems, data infrastructure, and more. Community leaders who advance hemp-lime adoption are building relationships and infrastructure that serve every project that follows.
The first county leader in each state enters the state representative pool — one of only 50 positions nationwide. Our team works with you to set up your guild web page, local working groups, and business connections, backed by a Public Benefit Contract that ties long-term income to your contributions. Any tool, process, product, or service you create earns equity and cash flow for the duration of your agreement.
Voices for Progress is a community success platform designed for the entire world. We are starting our legacy with industrial hemp — but anyone can launch a project on any topic. We are also building an organic network of connected guild websites with backlinks across every county, and a digital Public Benefit Contract tool already in development. Early members help shape the affiliate program and platform features.
Universities in each region are being invited into a hub-and-spoke model to gather peer-reviewed data and confirm best practices — including the potential to cut energy costs by 30% through hemp-lime insulation. Join now and help build something that lasts.
The 3,144 Initiative and VFP is how we do this work at scale. Every county in the US follows a similar legislative process. Learning it once through hemp-lime initiative gives your team a repeatable skill that works for any public benefit project. Community leaders who help advance hemp-lime adoption are building relationships and infrastructure that serve every initiative that follows.
We built the Hemp-Lime Retrofit Guild as the collaborative structure for that work. A guild lets every brand, contractor, and researcher in a region work together as topic focused work groups - combining the best of technology, robotics, and human-guided AI to build local expertise and meet local needs. Public benefit and CO2 impact are the metrics that matter.
Voices for Progress - a community success platform, offers each county a project workspace, working groups, task assignment and review/approval tools, task splitting, along with mobile friendly checklist creation, task visualization timing to assist with planning a day, and data/library archive. The platform is designed for any civic initiative — zero waste, food systems, data infrastructure - we are starting our legacy with industrial hemp.
