I’m currently a co-director at EA Netherlands (with Marieke de Visscher). We’re working to build and strengthen the EA community here.
Before this, I worked as a consultant on urban socioeconomic development projects and programmes funded by the EU. Before that, I studied liberal arts (in the UK) and then philosophy (in the Netherlands).
Hit me up if you wanna find out about the Dutch EA community! :)
Thanks for the comment!
I’d say EA is very much a movement.
First, MacAskill mentions it in his definition of EA:
Second, you can see it reflected in CEA’s programming. I’d say their Groups programme is a social movement support programme (and, as I’m funded by that programme, I’d say most of my work is social movement work).
Third, the outside world perceives it as a movement. See the Wikipedia definition, this New Yorker article, and this TIME article.
