December 2024: Soapbox recap & vibes!

Hiii Reader

Climate anxiety is forreal. On our show & tell earlier this week, someone shared a story of a family member being diagnosed with cancer. And because the climate crisis is exacerbating disasters and disasters destroy supply chains and we are in a saline shortage, their family is not able to get the care they need.

Horrible.

I wish this was a unique story, but all of us are going to be facing heavy consequences from the climate crisis this decade.

👁️👄👁️

That is super stressful to think about! And I understand that our instinctive reaction is to turn away, or worse, doomscroll.

Buuuttt now, more than ever, we need community structures so we can hold each other through these times and figure out what we're going to do about our new reality.

Loneliness is at an all-time high, and in order to solve any of our world's problems, we need to trust each other first.

This is why Soapbox builds joyful community spaces to transform climate anxiety and loneliness into connection, learning, and action. We're strengthening our climate justice movement to make it more effective and FUN! (Who says we can't party during the apocalypse?! Couldn't be me)

So thank YOU for contributing to greater joy and love and belonging by hanging out with us every week, whether that's in your inbox or beyond.

Because YOU are the reason we:

• Reached almost 8,000 Changeletter subscribers
• Wrote 44 bite-sized action plans on 11 monthly topics
• Got 1,026 visitors to 53 events that...
• Reduced climate anxiety by 78%
• Decreased loneliness by 88%
• Increased self- and collective-efficacy by 100% (!!)
• and so much more!

On that note: I FINALLY did it. I wrote our first impact report!​

I might be making some changes, so it's not shared publicly yet, but I wanted to make sure you saw it ASAP because you are the reason Soapbox still exists.

If you are like "wow so much impact I want to do more how can I help", the #1 thing I'd love support on is sharing our fundraiser on LinkedIn.

If you're not on LinkedIn, you could forward this email to friends/family OR copy+paste from the LinkedIn post

Ok thank you love you!! Please take at least a minute today to BE PROUD OF YOURSELF for everything you did this year! I am so proud of you for sure <3

and happy birthday to our incredible board chair Rose who gave me the courage to ask for help!
