We can't be everywhere and do everything, though the world is a complicated place full of hardship and injustice, compelling us to do what we can to contribute toward solutions. Thankfully, there are many outstanding groups working tirelessly - often on shoestring budgets - to better the world we live in.

Since college I've regularly donated time and money to organizations I believe are making real contributions to progress: on environmental sustainability, on social justice and human rights, on political accountability, and on media integrity.

This way, the work I do is for these causes as well.
