Recently, I’ve surprised myself by coming to believe that donating to candidates who support policies which reduce existential risksis probably the best passive donation opportunity for US citizens. The main reason I’ve changed my mind is that I think highly aligned political candidates have a lot of leverage to affect policies that could impact the long-term future and are uniquely benefited from individual donations.
If you’re not a US citizen, you can volunteer for a campaign (that’s legal!).
Agree with this point. Jeffrey Ladish wrote “US Citizens: Targeted political contributions are probably the best passive donation opportunities for mitigating existential risk”.
