Just last week, more than 1,000 scientists from over 25 countries took to the streets around the world, risking arrest and abuse in week-long climate protests.

When we imagine mass arrests of desperate people throwing “fake blood on the steps of the Spanish Parliament’s Congress of Deputies,” science professors don’t usually make the top of the list.

When we imagine people chaining themselves to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase bank building or to the White House fence, it’s never NASA scientists that come to mind.
The message is simple: those whose business it is to know, know that we have reached a tipping point.
According to the former United Nations General Assembly President and Minister of National Defense of Ecuador, María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés:
“We are the last generation that can prevent irreparable damage to our planet[.]”
But there is hope.
The solutions already exist for us to make the change we need today.
If you want to DO SOMETHING, there are lots of ways to take action. The problem is knowing what to do and how to do it. This is the problem for billions of us on this planet we share — What do we do?
At +Media, we have built a dynamic multi-sided software platform that links people who are raising awareness about anything at all (for example, scientists, corporations, nonprofits and filmmakers) and solutions that already exist.
Imagine if the next time you saw a film about the severity of climate change or better ways to invest to support girls’ education, that there was a symbol — like the Batman’s bat signal! — that you can trust to help you take action and to show you exactly what to do.
At +Media, our goal is to become that symbol that will help you DO SOMETHING — a revolutionary, scalable system to enable people everywhere to make change!
On the other side of this symbol, are +Impact HubsTM — curated and vetted menus, with a bevy of opportunities that go beyond the usual petition signing.
We provide any action imaginable — from opportunities to volunteer, places you can learn more (about anything), places you can donate, books you can read, any solution as long as it’s vetted.
Our solutions-filled +Impact HubsTM focus on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals as a way of adhering to a roadmap proposed by more than 178 countries to better lives and the environment.
Even more, for the solution providers and content creators, we provide measurable impact and concrete analytics.
To build this vehicle for change, we need your help in raising $107,000 to cover salaries and build tech until our seed round is completed.
You can donate to us directly here with a minimum of $10,000.
Or, using the Ignite Social Impact investing platform here, you can become an investor with as little as $100. You’ll find the minimum level available once you begin the process.
The Ignite Social Impact investing platform is SEC/FINRA regulated — unlike other crowdfunding platforms — and is focused on social impact, and your information remains completely private even from us.
The only way to create change is to do it together.
