IRS990/Desc0We held 32 learning events via Zoom and 8 in person events with elected officials, public intellectuals, journalists. We helped fundraise $500k for an advocacy campaign to keep Diablo Canyon open. We helped fundraise $100k for the California YIMBY Victory PAC and helped lobby to pass important housing bills such as AB 2011 (streamlines production of affordable housing on commercially-zoned land) and AB 2097 (eliminates parking minimums).We launched a municipal chapter of Effective Government, which in turn helped fundraise for two important ballot props (Prop D and Prop J). We organized an Spring 2022 Abundance retreat with leading political operators, journalists, and advocacy org leaders. We launched a new publication (Modern Power) and published 19 essays, reaching an audience of 10,000+. Our regular readers include a dozen CA legislators, national journalists, billionaire philanthropists, and even a former CA Governor.
