I'm pursuing an economics degree at the University of Alberta, Canada. I've started a small EA club and facilitated EA Virtual Programs several times.
See this similar question here for other ways to coordinate. As for me, I'm a Canadian in Alberta interested in helping out, whether financially or with figuring out the process. Please reach out to me and let me know what you have in mind.
As an EA group facilitator, I've been a part of many complex discussions talking about the tradeoffs between prioritizing long-term and short-term causes.
Even though I consider myself a longtermist, I now have a better understanding and respect for the concerns that near-term-focused EAs bring up. Allow me to share a few of them.
These and other concerns have updated me towards preferring a "balanced portfolio" of resources spread across EA causes from different worldviews, even if my inside view prefers certain causes over others.
