I like your spirit although I'm afraid it would take more than a referendum to upend factory farming.
One was recently held in the Switzerland and, even in that relatively progressive place, most Swiss voted to hold onto the status quo. You can find out more about it here: forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/gDRH2SrN34KdDvmHE/abolishing-factory-farming-in-switzerland-postmortem which includes:
"The opposition [to abolishing factory farming] commanded resources which significantly exceeded our own. In order to have a realistic chance at the ballot box, any future initiative would likely require a substantially larger budget and campaign team."
I don't mean to be a debby downer, and in fact I'd be happy to join a campaign team with you, especially after watching your vid.
I think donor matching is a good idea and this post has a great title- it got me to read the article more than once. And now I want to donate to the bonus fund but I just have one question first:
Do the non-bonus donors get to decide which charity to support within a range of charities, and if so what's in that range?
Good idea! I dont know if it's just me but that link doesn't work unfortuantely (and i have a notebook LM account).
