December 2024: Soapbox recap & vibes!

December is when the Soapbox team takes a break from writing Changeletters, because you have enough stuff in your inbox and we want you to be able to catch up!

I might still send you a couple emails, but they'll be shorter and not themed.

Today, I just want to give you a super quick rundown of some updates, upcoming events, and important announcements. It should take you 30 sec or less to read!

First of all, thank you soooooooooooooo much x100000 x infinity for supporting Soapbox this year. Your attention is your most valuable commodity and it means so much that you spend time engaging with our Changeletters when you could be looking at baby cats or whatever. You're doing GREAT Reader - sitting with these subjects is where the work begins.

So come hang out with us, celebrate and end your year doing some more good!

Events

• Our LAST event of the year is our climate curious show & tell and you can RSVP here for December 16th. Last year's was so fun that our friend Nora dialed in from Europe which was like 3AM her time! Treat yourself by hanging out with us, making awesome new friends, and sharing wins!
  ​
• Yesterday we got our keys to our Soapbox Seattle space, where we'll be doing public programming every single Tuesday in 2025! Basically climate church? I can't wait! We have a members-only celebration on Dec 10 to soft launch. I had a stress dream about it last night.

Ways to support

• Soapbox Project is now a tax-exempt nonprofit organization YAY! We would really appreciate your support. If you've ever wondered "how can I keep my favorite newsletter alive?" the answer is join our membership or make a donation. If you believe the world needs more community spaces for climate action, we need YOUR support!
  ​
• ​Many companies have leftover money they need to spend before Dec 31. If you can nose around to see if this is the case at your workplace, please recommend Soapbox as a recipient for all things environmental/social responsibility!
  ​
• We got our first grant! I don't think I've shared too openly about HOW HARD this work has been. Over the past four years, I've made z.e.r.o. dollars from Soapbox, and I'm almost at the end of my rent-paying abilities. But thanks to our grant from YCLC, an influx in members especially in Seattle and NYC, and a few generous donations, we're BACK, BABY! Soapbox was at risk of dying, but thanks to people like you, we're not going anywhere. (For now at least, lol. Join our membership pls)

Resources

• If you want a sustainable gift guide, here's one I wrote in 2022 (didn't feel like writing another one. And I'm proud of this one cause one of the gifts is drawing a llama)
  ​
• And on a related note, we revamped our website! We've added a resource library tab with our previous Changeletters uploaded as action packs. We also posted our expert interviews and got started on a resource for climate community builders.​

That's all for today! Next I'm planning to send you a 2024 impact report but it's taking me way longer than I thought to put it together :( but we shall persist...

Love,
