I gave a talk at Rutgers to an Introduction to Ethics course (50 students) about effective giving (sharing various moral arguments including ones from Peter Singer, Thomas Pogge, and Toby Ord).
Gave 10% of my income to AMF and towards the Giving What We Can operations fundraiser.
Continuously promoted EA stuff on Facebook through various pages (several GWWC & EA chapters) and personal posts.
I’ve seen you promoting EA stuff on FB and have been impressed with your social media activism. Nice to know what you’re doing behind the scenes, too!

Thank you for the kind words.
