The last month was quite busy for me with EA activities!
One notable event was holding a videotaped Google Hangout with EA Netherlands about how to market EA-themed ideas broadly.
Besides this videotaped call, we held a number of non-videotaped personal calls and did other forms of support for folks in the EA movement to advance the capacity of EA members in marketing EA-themed ideas broadly, for instance connecting EA folks with publishers, etc.
I published a piece for a prominent outlet, Lifehack, entitled “How To Show Your Love For Animals Effectively!” This is part of a broader collaboration with Animal Charity Evaluators, on whose behalf I wrote the post, and who will also publish it on their blog soon. I hope to get it published in a couple of other venues that allow republication, to get the message out as broadly as possible. And on that note, The Huffington Post republished my earlier blog for The Life You Can Save, entitled “The Panama Papers Reveal The Solution To Global Suffering.”
We at Intentional Insights tabled at the Unitarian Universalist General Assembly, holding Speed Giving Games and distributing UU-themed Giving Games packets. By the end, we actually ran out of materials (we printed 50), so there was lots of interest in taking the Giving Games back to churches around the world. I think over 70 people participated in total. The two charities we played for were GiveDirectly and the the local food bank, and about 2/3rds of the people chose GiveDirectly, which is a good sign for engaging with the UU movement.
On a more personal and non-InIn note, I co-founded the EA Accomplishments group. This is not an explicitly InIn project, just like this thread is not. It’s something I’m personally passionate about and do as my personal contribution to the movement, not in my capacity as InIn President.

I held a couple more “Everyday Heroes of Effective Giving” interviews, which will be ready soon.

We advanced the EA Marketing Resources Bank project by founding the Effective Altruism Marketing FB group, in coordination with the Local Effective Altruism Network.
We also founded the Effective Altruism Secular Outreach FB group.

You’re welcome to join all these groups :-)
That’s all for the last month!
