Monthly Match

I woke up this morning to see the following on our Human Utility monthly match Crowdrise campaign . It blew me away. I’m proud of our community. Y’all are awesome. THANK YOU. I then poked around to see how we got there and saw Fred Wilson’s blog post on the wrap up of the #GiveWater campaign . We crossed $20k last night so our $20k (Fred/Joanne/Brad/Amy) was released. And, Jessica Livingston matched the $20k again, so that was another $20k. Thank you, Jessica. Super awesome. ...

Does it surprise you that some people in the United States don’t have regular access to water? Our month match for June is The Human Utility . Fred Wilson, Joanne Wilson, Amy Batchelor, and I are matching up to $20,000 of contributions via our #GiveWater campaign . Hunter Walk introduced us to The Human Utility at the beginning of the year. Access to water has always been something that Amy and I support. We first started thinking about this after hearing about Charity Water a while ago from Chris Sacca , who has been a major supporter of them over the years. ...

Amy and I have been supporting Planned Parenthood every year since we became a couple in 1990. Today, the House is going to vote on a bill that, among other things, defunds Planned Parenthood. I’m long past my surprise by any of what is coming out of Washington, so instead of being shocked, I’m just continuing to take action on things that are important to me. So, your Monthly Match team (Fred Wilson , Joanne Wilson , Amy Batchelor , Susan Danziger , Albert Wenger and me) is launching this month’s match for Planned Parenthood . ...

Planet Earth needs a good lawyer. If you are as appalled as I am by the hostility of the Trump Administration to climate change, clean energy, and what appears to be a systematic effort to dismantle the EPA , then please support this month’s #EarthMatch fundraiser that Joanne , Fred , Amy , Albert , Susan , and I are matching up to $30,000. This month we are funding Earthjustice , which started in the 1960s as the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund. Since then, Earthjustice has been the legal backbone for thousands of environmental organizations. They leverage their expertise and commitment to fight for justice and advance the promise of a healthy world for all. Earthjustice’s courtroom fights remain the last lines of defense for many of our crucial public health protections and the nation’s cornerstone environmental laws. ...

Fred Wilson , Joanne Wilson , Amy , and I are doing our second Monthly Match. This one is in support of the National Immigration Law Center . We will be matching $20,000 of contributions that our respective communities make to NILC. We’ve made it easy to contribute – simply go to this page on Crowdrise . Any level of contribution is super helpful. Since we are matching 1:1, each dollar you contribute gets NILC another dollar. ...
