Thanks Jamie. I have another movement building example to add to your list—focusing on expanding our moral circle. I’m working (rather amateurishly) to raise awareness of sentientism. It’s a modern re-casting of Peter Singer / Richard Ryder’s philosophy as an explicitly naturalistic extension of humanism. Evidence, reason and compassion for all sentient things.
We’re building online communities in various places but our core group is here. All welcome to join whether or not the term fits personally. https://www.facebook.com/groups/sentientism/ We have quite a few EAs involved already as well as activists / philosophers / writers / policy-people from 45 countries so far.
