Want to participate in GPSO? There are many excellent candidates for involvement whom we’ll be unable to contact. If you do not receive an invitation but would like to participate we’d love to have you on board!
If you fit into one of the categories we’ve used for official invitees, just email us with the phrase “I pledge,” and send us your name, title, and other particulars. (If you don’t fit any of the categories, see below.) Any link or other resource we can use to verify your information would be helpful as well. (To understand the project, you’ll want to be sure to read the GPSO letter as well.) We’ll include your name on our list of pledges. Those categories are:
- Active or retired scientist, not necessarily affiliated with a college or university
- Active or retired college or university professor/instructor in the natural or social sciences or other relevant discipline (Our mailing focuses mostly on those involved in topic areas especially relevant to the population issue, such as environmental science, biology, and anthropology, but those from other disciplines are welcome.)
- Environmental or science writer, journalist, editor, or activist
- Political or social policy writer or activist
- Executive, staff member, board member, or adviser to an organization with an environmental or social policy emphasis
- Politician/government official
- Public figure of particular prominence or influence
If you do not identify yourself by any of those categories, you can still participate. We appreciate all efforts to speak out on population during February! On the page of pledgers you will now find a separate list for “Other concerned citizens who have pledged.” It is its own category and the efforts of those on the list will be documented in the same way as those on the original list of pledges. So go here and tell us “I pledge”!
