Normally I would not double-post an item, but I’d like to increase the chance people see this, and I don’t know if it warrants a front-page posting.
EA Toronto
I just created the Effective Altruism Toronto meetup. I’m already in touch with the organizers of LW Toronto. My goal is to reach a monthly meeting tempo over the next 3 − 6 months with a small core of regulars, and then reach a twice-monthly tempo.
Please spread the word to anyone who might be in the GTA!
Promotion help
If anybody has suggestions about how to best promote/spread the word, that would be super-great. I’m one of those tin-foil hat Facebook holdouts, but I’m willing to blow the dust off my account to do some promo for this. Pointers to FB groups/highly-connected-individuals/whatever, as well as non-FB related ideas would be really appreciated.
That is great. I read somewhere on this forum that starting a meetup is supposed to be super impactful!
Facebook is very useful… but I have found meetup really good too.
My facebook feed also makes me a better EA too—I have joined so many groups and friended loads of lovely EAs so I now get no Latte Art, and only get inspiring stories of people doing wonderful things and thinking interesting ideas, and that keeps me inspired and active.
Congrats on your activism! For spreading word, try the Local EA FB group. Are you in touch with the Local Effective Altruist Network? If not, get in touch with them.
