Hi @jenn thanks for sharing what you're going through. I appreciate and resonate with your urge to push things forward. I think the spirit you bring should be 'funded', as in, count the (vegan) nachos at the local EA meetup against your Giving Pledge.

Love a good wisdom drop from Mario :) Find your people.

Curious about one thing.

But one big thing that came into focus for me last year was that there are large institutional players who make up the shortfall whenever those charities don't fundraise enough from their own donor bases.

How'd you learn this, is it common? Is it just common in EAlandia? It seems to be the kind of thing that would discount counterfactual value of 'donor base' donations.

Such a thought provoking post. Each of this has to confront this at some soul level. Thank you Alex for putting this idea down.

So I was procrastinating publishing on our Summit Retrospective, and then I saw this article.

The event was so amazing, and though I can, y'know be rational about it, seeing this post gives me a little fire to put it out there sooner!

Love this:

To keep your eyes on the real prize takes constant effort. 

When I organized a recent EA event, here's what I had down for the list of 'stakeholders', ranked from highest to lowest priority:

1. The least-empowered people and animals in the world

2.....

3.....

x. Core organizers, partners

y. Local EA Community

I came to one, it was great! Thanks Joseph for your tireless organizing. 

Cool post, I've had the same feeling but didn't think of a good word for it.

Hey Amelia! Cool to see you out here. Excited for the Summit! Excited to see where you'll go with your talent and knowledge.

Hi @Martina Pepiciello , these are awesome! Would it be okay if we used some of these in promotional materials for our EA Summit in Vancouver?

If EA had a pokemon, which would it be? Evee, right? as in EV?

I think it's the old way to say Aotearoa. I dunno, seems like a place to have new zeal about things.
