Hello! I'm Toby. I'm the Senior Content Strategist for CEA's Online Team. I work with the team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.

Hey Madeleine! Good question. You might want to change the title to make it more descriptive, i.e. something like "Which EA organisations are working on systemic change?".
PS- the answer is lots. LEEP gets governments to enforce laws around lead in paint and food, Legal Impact for Chickens is trying to change how laws are applied (as is THL UK), Pause AI routes through a mass movement, etc...
When you get into it, the distinction between 'systemic change' and 'measurable intervention' is a spectrum rather than a binary. There are EA interventions at most points along that spectrum.
Ah interesting that you read it that way. That reminder shows for everybody, not for people who have been flagged. I'll think about changing the text.
However, we are already planning on reviewing this policy as soon as we have time (likely post-EAG). Specifically, we might do what you already assumed we were doing, i.e. set up an automated system based on pangram. One of my biggest cruxes is just how reliable pangram is, so let me know if you have takes.
That's reasonable, I have no idea. Definitely a fellow traveller though (they come to the conferences, work from the offices, etc...).
I'm sure there are many more examples of what I'm pointing at here that are closer to 'EA'.
