Remember, 1) Get smart 2) Make a commitment 2) Conquer anxiety!
We believe social and environmental justice is a cause for everyone.
And that taking action should feel good!
We imagine a world where every living being belongs to a resilient community that's healthy, joyful, and safe. In the Soapbox Project future, each human being lives a life of purpose and connection. We're living our best lives with our best friends on the best planet, and it's AWESOME!
So, our mission, more specifically, is to help people feel better by doing better. We’re here to make social and environmental justice easy and fun for busy people like you. Our focus is on working professionals, since we have the power and privilege to use our resources for good.
Our values are courage and joy! Every newsletter we send and every event we host promotes at least one of those two values. When we say we're a "values-driven community", we don't mean that lightly. For example, when you join our community via our Climate Solutions Cohort, we have an entire session dedicated to practicing courage for climate conversations!
Here are some helpful concepts and stats to know about as you navigate your social and environmental justice journey, taken from this climate anxiety study and this book about self-efficacy.
In a landmark study of 10,000 young people aged 16-25, 84% of respondents were worried about climate change, and over 50% felt “sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and guilty”.
It's easy to feel like our actions don't matter in the grand scheme of things. However, research shows that "every time you successfully take committed action, you increase your hope, optimism, and self-efficacy".
"Self-efficacy is the belief that you, yourself, can effect positive change in your own life. Together, hope, optimism, and self-efficacy make up the secret sauce of unstoppable motivation and willpower."
