Protecting democracy and civil rights in the United States.

Trying to leave this planet a little better than I found it. This year, as with the rest of my life, I really tried to center my charitable giving around the cause that is most important to me: climate change. Of course, that’s not the only thing that’s important to me, so for my other giving I tried to focus on a few organizations that capture a reasonably wide net of my concerns around democracy and women’s rights. Lastly, I topped things off with a donation to the public library, since I benefit from it a lot personally and want to contribute to my local community.

Making America great again

In the face of unprecedented threats to American democracy -- punctuated by the attack on the Capital on January 6, 2021 -- these organizations are, each in their own way, working to protect the core dimensions of democratic self-government in the United States.
