Romero Institute

What it reported doing in 2024

The new paradigm institute was launched in 2023 after three whistleblowers publicly testified to congress that our government has captured nonhuman spacecraft and nonhuman bodies in crash retrievals, and that navy pilots on both coasts of our country see nonhuman spacecraft every day. After opening a d.c. Office across from the senate, and hiring professional teams, our initiative began to develop policy and mobilize citizens for disclosure of the information hidden from citizens and our elected leaders for 80 years. With the passage of legislation in december, 2023, "disclosure has begun".in 2024 we continued to build our powerful website engine for education, grassroots organizing, and fundraising. Our social media campaigns and 80 podcasts appearances reached millions of viewers, our grassroots organizing efforts began building out 1000 volunteers into a nationwide organizing force to pressure our elected representatives to proceed with public disclosure hearings, and we launched a membership campaign to build our fundraising base. Our d.c. Team educated congressional staff and members, and our legal team produced the most thorough ufo whistleblower protection bill ever written. Our five different calls to action generated 73,000 letters to congress members. We held a strategic meeting and formed a collaborative vision for disclosure with 25 significant allies in the ufo space. Our general counsel continued to legally represent whistleblower, lue elizondo, whose book, imminent, became a New York times best seller. Our legal team began the analysis and research to craft a rico complaint against the leaders of the legacy project who are responsible for multiple crimes associated with the 80 years of secrecy of our capture and interaction with ufo craft and pilots.we co-hosted the first ufo teach in at yale university with the invisible college and the yale student ufo society. And, on october 20, 2024, we launched global disclosure day with a panel of excellent investigators, whistleblowers, and local organizers. 1000 zoom members joined nationally and internationally, and it reached 177,947 live stream viewers. In november, after a public hearing highlighting lue elizondo, we organized a press conference and a successful outdoor rally with our ally, mufon, calling for more public hearings.after several successful classes, we separated new paradigm institute from ubiquity university in order to focus our staff and resources on the challenging task of generating disclosure.
