• Learn or Buy: Our pals at electrek have a handy list of factory lease offers on EV’s (like the updated and insanely cheap VW ID.4, above). Get one before Elon cancels them. (go)
  

• Buy: It’s late February and that means the weather is about to get super unpredictable for a while. Beware false spring! Pick up my favorite smart thermostat from Ecobee to keep temps (and your bills) in check (go)
  

• Learn: April showers bring May flowers and also flooding. Up your prepper game with FloodMapp’s live flood data and other useful resources.(go)
  

• Invest: Sure the market is all over the place because of #fascism but on the other hand, there’s never been a better time to transition whatever investments you do have to a more sustainable version. Earth Equity Investors can help get you there. (go)

• Buy: You’re loving GEM’s incredibly useful collection of secondhand products from around the world wide web. (go)
  

• Volunteer: If we’re ever going to understand how and how much psychedelics can help with mental health, we need more volunteers for ongoing and upcoming clinical trials. Get more info at the link (go)
  

• Donate: Maybe you saw the viral posts of Rep. Brittany Pettersen cutting short her maternity leave to fly to DC with her newborn to protect Medicaid. Yeah. These fucking assholes. The Vote Mama Foundation helps remove barriers that prevent women from running for office. Thanks for funding their essential work (go)

Updates:

• Virginia’s General Assembly is adjourned, but you helped get vital bills to the governor’s desk, including one that requires insurers to cover contraception. Huzzah!

• You made hundreds of calls to try and stop RFK’s HHS nomination, but we didn’t quite get there. Thanks to everyone who chipped in. We go again.

• Volunteer: One, we shouldn’t put everything on the youth since we (cough, boomers) are the ones who ruined it in the first place, but even then, we need to get more youth more access to nature. Find out how you can help (go)
  

• Donate: Everybody needs to eat. In a complicated, complicated world, everybody.needs.to.eat. Provide a family with food security, tonight. (go)
  

• Volunteer: Union participation might be at a historical low in the US (dammit), but volunteering to amplify labor voices and rights is one of our top searches this week. We do this together. (go)

That’s it for this week. There’s hundreds more incredible actions you can throw at the world, right in the app.

Feeling overwhelmed? Remember — you can save actions for later with an WCID profile!

Take care of yourselves and each other, folks. Every little bit goes a long way.

Thank you as always for giving a shit.
