Pssst. Now that we have all recovered from yesterday, we have a major announcement to make soon ...

📢📢📢 We are launching a political action committee!

Last week, we elected leaders who embrace science-informed, evidence-based public policies.

But our work is not done. Instead of going away, we are going to double down! gofundme.com/f/supportmarch…

Since our inception, we have operated as a fiscally-sponsored non-profit, which has come with many constraints; namely, that we cannot spend more than 20% of our budget on advocacy.

With the climate crisis, the pandemic, and systemic racism, there is so much at stake. A political action fund will remove some of our restraints and help our movement rise to meet the urgency of the crises we face.

We need your help so that we can take the gloves off, step into the ring, and properly get involved.

Let us know the ways you'd be open to getting involved AND help inform our priorities moving forward!

We have intentionally refrained from asking our community for financial support for years; we wanted to wait until the time was right.

We firmly believe that the time is now.

Having leaders who listen to science is a good start, but not enough.

We need transformative policies that center science, AND meaningfully address equity, justice, and human rights.

Let's work together to ensure maximum impact comes with this critical transfer of power.
