Today I'm delighted that the Crees Manu is having its first foray into the world of crypto fundraising! Please join us on this brand new adventure by coming and making a small donation to the cause via Ma Earth and get it matched! https://lnkd.in/dhaiRMXm I found Ma Earth just over a year ago in summer '23, and became a fan of Matthew Monahan's thoughtful and probing interviews. I'm always fearful about spending too much time in echo chambers where people all agree, the environmental sector is full of them. MA Earth's community provides such a diverse scope it is a place i now go to learn, think and challenge assumptions i may have, if you haven't please check it out. Big shout out to the team at Crees Manu for getting through to the second round of the grant programme. So proud of the work you're doing this year (and for past 2 decades!).
