1/ Being a Fiscal host means we provide a legal #safespace for grassroots movements to get active without setting up their own legal entities.
We provide the ability to keep their finances tidy, receive donations, and apply for grants. We make activism accessible! 🤝💰💻

2/ Our #impact comes from speeding up the process for people to get organized and supporting them in receiving funds in a #transparent and accessible way.
We are a back-office which means our collectives can focus on their work and ideas rather than administrative details 💼 📝

In the past months, we at @GlobalYAcademy have started to improve the visibility of young global scientists. I'll starting sharing more about what I learned through this about #digitization #academies #wikipedia and the visibility of researchers. Here's a picture of NYAs

NYAs are national young academies. There are around 50 of them, some have a long and prominent history, some have just started *this week*.

@theNASciences comes from #Casablanca in #Morocco and moved to @UMich for a #PhD on interaction of Mars & Venus atmosphere and solar winds. However, she had a crisis and wanted to give back to her community, and dove into #scipol, #ethics, #economics

She went on to do a Christine Mirzayan S&T fellowship via @aaas, one of the few options available to #international applicants (cc @IWS_Network). Wanting to engage #ECR, she applied for a position @theNASciences, got in, and never looked back #NSPNsymposium18
She now promotes #international development, security, and cooperation with @theNASciences, through #Science #technology and #innovation.
@theNASciences ≠ @NSF! The National academy is independent from govt and provides #scienceadvice and #evidence for #scipol
