How others can help me

Connect what brought me to helping to found FairVote (finding ways for society to take on pressing problems that can be "ahead of their time" when measured through winner-take-all, majority lenses) with the important work that so many people in the EA community are doing.

I'm also interested in plugging my family and friends into options for how best to take action in this complicated world of ours.

How I can help others

I know a lot about running organizations, scaling projects, building coalitions, winning difficult changes and making your case for change I've got a lot of connections in the electoral reform and voting rights world in the US, with far more limited connections elsewhere.
