Thank you for this post! I think it might be beneficial in some ways for the EA movement but a barrier in other ways. It is quite hard to find good evidence for cost-effectiveness of systemic changes, which makes it hard to look closer into. It is also hard to separate systemic change from politics, which can create tensions in a community.
Cool Earth is an organisation that was very popular in the EA movement for a while and I think they work with the topics you are looking for. I think GiveDirectly also is doing it. There are also some people doing it loosely. EA Germany has a Slack channel for systemic change.
I hope this helps! You are welcome to contact me if you want to discuss this further!

Well… I am involved. I made some input to the UN together with Cool Earth, Equal Right and Robert Fletcher: https://​​docs.google.com/​​document/​​d/​​1uAzSycfm190C1hnVDCnYTXK2d1tvw0WsbfE8RJYvw2U/​​edit?usp=drivesdk
I also made a forum post about a way forward that I think might work when it comes to systemic change and the EA community: https://​​forum.effectivealtruism.org/​​posts/​​tAF4zQSfDGpABLCaH/​​green-basic-income-and-health-taxes-as-a-way-for-systemic
