1) I published a blog on the Life You Can Save about the Reach Every Mother and Child Act, a bill many EAs should love. I also coordinated with students in North Carolina to write several letters about the bill, which I’m delivering to Senator Burr’s office. A staffer for Burr, who I spoke to over the phone, said he was considering the bill.
2) I became an adviser to Charity Entrepreneurship, helping Joey Savoie and their team pick which intervention they should focus on in India.
3) I used Charity Science gift cards to spread ideas about effective giving to my friends/family, gave a significant amount of money to a ton of great EA organizations, convinced my family to donate to the Humane League, and wrote a year-end giving piece that exposed people who aren’t Effective Altruists to the kinds of ideas we think about a lot.
4) Finally, I made personal progress in finishing and submitting all of my grad school apps! :)
Scott, thanks for sharing about your accomplishments!
Just read your piece on the Reach Every Mother and Child Act, sounds like a really good bill. I shared it on my Facebook profile, and hope other EAs will as well.
This is a great idea, Gleb!
