Hello!



We are a group of individuals who are looking to establish dialogue, build community, and practice activism based on the philosophy of antinatalism, with a plan to produce content and host events for the next year.



Antinatalism is a term that means "against birth". This term stems from the philosophical position that considers the ethics of human reproduction. In considering these ethical questions and the human predicament, several individuals have taken to the internet to participate in the discussion on antinatalism.



Core antinatalist arguments include the issue of consent, the asymmetry of existence/non-existence, and the issue of risk. There are various interpretations of these core arguments from antinatalists and non-antinatalists alike, and differences in perspective on which arguments take precedence.



Antinatalism and those who identify as antinatalists are often misunderstood and misrepresented in multiple ways. To dispel this, it is important to establish and continue the conversation on what antinatalism is, what antinatalists adhere to, and the prevention of harm.



What is needed at this stage is more cross-discussion and collaboration to help elevate understanding on antinatalism and related subject-matter.



So, here are some specifics on how that can be achieved at this stage in the conversation. We would like to set up:



-A Pro Zoom account for online Antinatalist/Efilist hangouts (~200/year + tax)



-A Pro Meetup account to plan and host in-person antinatalist meetups (~$360/year + tax)



-A podcast (~$180/year + tax)



This totals $750-850, leaving some extra funds to put toward events and podcast equipment.



Licenses for the accounts will be shared with antinatalists across the globe interested in hosting hangouts and meetups.



Here are some of the individuals who will be included in this effort:



Mark J. Maharaj - monthly host of Antinatalist/Efilist hangout, with plans to produce a podcast in the new year



Danny Shine (SocialExperimentalist on Youtube) - planning and organizing meetups to establish a culture and build community out of London UK



Tejas - तेजस आनंद गोखले (AntiNatalist Youtuber) - organizer for Childfree Pune in India with plans to host Zoom meetings locally



Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in participating and/or hosting. As always, your support is greatly appreciated!



Thank you!
