Humanity deserves more.

Humanity deserves more than we have. Every year, millions die preventable deaths from hunger, war, and disease. Our planet is on fire. The rent continues to rise. Our jobs seem increasingly less fulfilling and less important. We find ourselves more often competing with each other instead of working together to solve these issues. Most of the billions on this planet do not want to continue, and simply cannot continue, continue live this way.

We have worked hard to build loving homes for our families: nightly bedtime stories, warm meals, a weekly ice cream cone in summer. We try to be kind each other in our everyday interactions: we hold the door open for those rushing behind us, we tip the waiter more than we have to, we share our soap at the laundromat. Some days it feels like we're building a better world, but most of the time it feels like we're pushing against an ever-encroaching wall. We're told to vote for the right people, to donate to the right charities, to buy the right products. We know these things help, but it doesn't actually seem to change much, or at least it doesn't feel like enough given the scope of our problems.

We deserve more. Humanity deserves more.

We created this website to give people a place to find out ways to help in their local community that are guided by values and driven by data. It's not the only website dedicated to a mission like this, but we hope it's a valuable contribution.
