Online Working / Community Meetup for the Abolition of Suffering
Hi, and welcome to our global community of aspiring suffering abolitionists! :)
Our online meetups serve as a platform to grow a global community for motivating each other and collaborating on initiatives towards the abolition of suffering.
Please read the full meet up description to prepare beforehand and check out our website to dive into the topic of suffering abolition and find cause areas and initiatives to work on: https://suffering-abolition.github.io/.

We will meet in our Suffering Abolitionist Hall (upper left corner) in EA Gather Town. See Hall map below. Simply click the link to enter.
Flexible structure of the working meetup:
1. The first 10 min people have time to navigate, get our support if needed and gather in the meetup area of the Suffering Abolition hall.
2. We continue with a moderated introduction round with pitches on what people have been working on, ~1 min/person.
3. Then we have a deep dive into 2-3 projects of participants.
4. In the end, we share takeaways ~1 min/person.
5. Afterwards, we transition into an open end (probably unmoderated).
Approximate time investment: 1.5 h
We encourage the following contributions during the meetups:
Desired focus of the event: ~50% on
1. Updates on participants’ personal suffering abolitionist projects
2. Insights of participant’s research—please always specify how the insights contribute to projects that event participants are actually working on.
Next ~35-40%:
3. Personal story sharing / connecting / fun / wellbeing
4. Discussing personal fit for individuals and potential contributions
Last ~10-15%:
5. Philosophical discussions/ discussions of current media representation and potential responses
6. Research unrelated to specific projects
The link for Gather town (our meet up hall) wasn’t updated. I did so now. See as well: https://app.gather.town/app/Yhi4XYj0zFNWuUNv/EA%20coworking%20and%20lounge?spawnToken=6DRLsIP5Gp1C30RP
Hi everyone, again I want to cultivate the habit of using the commenting function (here in the EA Forum, in FB and in Discord) as a motivating accountability tool for sharing what one is working on/ planning to share at the event.
For me, I might talk a little bit about the “Wild Animals in Urban Spaces: How Cities Can Promote Wild Animal Welfare in the Built Environment” talk, and share about my increased engagement in EA Munich and the potentials. Looking forward to seeing you all in about 10,5 hours (if I counted correctly)
Sorry, I was way, way off. Oh well.
