It’s not mandatory, just the majority. That creates animosity and division in a neighborhood. This is tame in comparison

In that case, the info is public, so I can see that happening...
I've not heard of any neighborhood publishing a list of names for the AED programs...
Our neighborhood has a yearly dance to support the program.
We've not been in TV when they have the dance. But at an earlier monthly event, they were selling tickets to the dance. At check in for the event, I was asked if I wanted to buy tickets. I asked "How much?" I think it was $20 per person. I gave them a $50. They were about to give me change and I told them we wouldn't be there, to just use the money for the program.
They were a bit surprised, but thanked me and told me they hoped we could make the next one...
I think it's an important program. I hope I never need it, but I do plan to become a volunteer when I become a Frog, as I've been certified on both CPR and AED forever...
