The data center fight is going global
Earlier this year, Gallup asked a national sample of Americans whether they would support an AI data center being built in their local area. Seventy-one percent opposed it, 48 percent of them strongly. Opposition to living near a nuclear power plant was markedly lower, at 53 percent. Republicans, Democrats and independents all rejected data centers.
What can animal activists learn from Denmark's pig election?
When Mette Frederiksen won a third term as Denmark's prime minister in March, her new government committed to something remarkable: structural reform of the country's most iconic industry: pig farming. Pork and pig farming are a huge issue in Denmark — everyone has heard of Danish bacon. Denmark rears around 30 million pigs a year, most of them destined for export, using particularly intensive farming practices. So this was a big ask for campaigners.
How to Turn Extreme Weather Tragedies Into Climate Victories
The European climate movement is faltering. State repression has escalated. Authoritarianism is on the rise. And even though most people around the world support climate action, they consistently underestimate how much others care — giving people the sense their concern is not shared. Groups like Just Stop Oil and Climate Defiance deserve credit for keeping climate in the headlines. But any movement whose only visible face is civil disobedience will struggle to expand beyond its core.

Where is the AI safety movement?
Whether or not we realize it, artificial intelligence is reshaping the world with breathtaking speed. Promoted as a panacea to cure diseases, revolutionize industries and tackle the world’s most intractable problems, AI is also quietly displacing workers, amplifying biases and creating surveillance systems pervasive and pernicious enough for any dystopian. As if that weren’t enough, there’s the prospect of super intelligent AI outpacing human control altogether. So where are the humans in all this?

Calling all funders: campaigners and activists need you!
Campaigners and activists live with a paradox: funders say they recognise the value of their work, but they are consistently under-supported, including financially. Why? We surveyed 100 funders (mostly in the UK) to find out. Most said they really value campaigning and activism (on average they said it was ‘very valuable’ as a tool for change, 4.4 on a 0-5 scale) but this is not reflected in their giving.
The case for funding social movements
When I started researching what makes social movements succeed, I thought the main questions would be about strategy and tactics, organisation, and planning. I hadn’t thought that an unexpectedly big barrier might be something much more basic: activists need money.
What determines the success of movements today?
Anyone who has come across “Why Civil Resistance Works” by Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan will be familiar with the idea that size matters for social movements. Their highly cited “3.5 percent rule” says that once movements actively involve at least 3.5 percent of the population they will inevitably succeed. The idea that this is a cast iron rule has been contested — including by Chenoweth — on the basis that it was a description of the past rather than a prediction of the future.

Social media like Facebook has enabled far greater information freedom than that allowed by what had been a rigidly gate-kept news and information virtual monopoly held by the pre-2000 electronic and print mainstream news-media.
