How do we reclaim the truth - based on facts? 13:22:06 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: If you have any questions for John or Brian, please drop them in the Q&A box 🙂 13:24:27 From erin m to Everyone: I understand that RFK Jr is very problematic in terms of his nonscientific views on vaccines and infectious disease. However, isn't he pro-choice? What do you foresee as the effects of his appointment on reproductive rights? 13:28:24 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: More on our Population Education Program: https://populationeducation.org/ 13:28:56 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: More on our Population Studies for Education Program: https://populationconnection.org/population-education/higher-education/ 13:29:18 From Gregory W to Everyone: CREATIVE INFOGRAPHS & DATA VISUALIZATIONS are a great way to depict population/environment info -- such as the climate protection value of family planning compared to all other pro-climate interventions. Information is Beautiful and Visual Capitalist are great examples. PopConnect should run a STUDENT OR AGE-OPEN POP/ECO INFOGRAPHIC COMPETITION ! 13:29:36 From John E to Everyone: What about the Trump - Musk dynamic? 13:30:15 From Talia M to Hosts and panelists: John & Brian, you’re my heroes. Thanks to you ALL! 13:30:20 From Russell A to Everyone: Can we see the "Price per ton of carbon reduction" chart again? Thanks. Excellent program. 13:31:27 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Hi Gregory, check out our annual student video contest! The video contest sparks creativity among middle and high school students, encouraging them to address global challenges linked to population growth. https://www.worldof8billion.org/ 13:31:59 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Hi Russell, we will follow up with a recording of the event and the presentation slides in the next few days! 13:34:22 From Russell A to Everyone: Thanks 13:34:31 From Laura H to Everyone: To what John was just saying: here is a market report from the Male Contraceptive Initiative as to how several “non-US” countries DEMAND new contraceptives for men - https://www.malecontraceptive.org/market-research.html 13:36:06 From Doreen H to Everyone: Doreen H - Do you have any data to convince advocates of population increase on how economies can thrive with a reduced birth rate? 13:36:31 From Teresa F to Everyone: Educate the masses. Social media, probably not. Try going to the source--the right-leaning churches. Avoid those that have "gone down the rabbit hole" as that will not end well. We must educate as the other side's lies has done just that. 13:38:03 From Don C to Everyone: Thank you for inviting us to your Zoom and sharing your considerable experience and wisdom. Will John’s slides be made available? Follow-up (offline) question: Do you see any need for QS quinacrine sterilization https://quinacrine.org to make life easier and safer for U.S. women? 13:38:42 From erin m to Everyone: Buy radio stations in rural areas of swing states. AM radio in those areas is overwhelmingly right-wing. It's what people hear at work and what long range truckers hear and provides constant propaganda in those areas. DITTO for Spanish-language media, which is very right-wing and has been ignored by the Democrats. 13:40:31 From Adam E to Hosts and panelists: Thank you for taking my question 13:40:52 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: We're committed to promptly addressing the misinterpretations and inaccuracies that frequently surface in news coverage. We encourage our members to use their knowledge and enthusiasm to spread the word by writing to their local newspaper or sharing information on social media: https://populationconnection.org/act/media-guide/ 13:43:52 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: More on our Global Partners Program: https://populationconnection.org/learn/international-partnerships/ 13:44:15 From Gregory W to Everyone: Stephanie, et al: Yes, the Student Video Contest is a great way to raise pop consciousness and foster creative message-making. A STUDENT INFOGRAPHIC CONTEST would be a potentially consequential complementary design competition. As time becomes ever shorter in supply and attention spans shorter, important messaging in shorter faster-to-grok pieces that are also visually compelling and even beautiful, will play an important part in messaging of all kinds! 13:47:02 From Florence Blondel to Everyone: Yes, that is a real issue. Side effects. Did it for my thesis. 13:47:37 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Nearly half of all pregnancies are unintended—a global crisis, says new UNFPA report: https://www.unfpa.org/press/nearly-half-all-pregnancies-are-unintended-global-crisis-says-new-unfpa-report 13:49:29 From Gregory W to Everyone: Will a transcript of this very good session and a copy of the Q&A / Chat be sent to the participants? 13:52:23 From Peninah Tauta to Everyone: Thank you very much for such an impactful platform for us in Africa specifically kenya and particularly Maasai Land the community will take quite a longer time to discuss such a matter, since the use of contraceptives is quite a great challenge the community stigmatizes so much. I registered an organization to champion for girls and women matters and we are still on menstrual hygiene management. I talk to the community to stop stigmatizing such a normal process and I am encouraging men to take part to support girls and women access sanitary towels. 13:52:26 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Hi Gregory, a recording of the event, the presentation slides, and access to the chat box discussion will be shared post-event! 13:52:59 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Get involved with our Action Fund here: https://www.populationconnectionaction.org/act/fight4her/ 13:54:17 From Marian Starkey to Everyone: Here’s the link to the PDF of our book: https://populationconnection.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/The-Good-Crisis.pdf 13:54:54 From Gregory W to Everyone: A rejoinder to Musk and his pro-natalism appeared in the PC Blog a year or so ago. Link? 13:57:03 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Hi Gregory, we have a few blog posts responding to Musk's comments. I believe this may be the one you are referring to: https://populationconnection.org/blog/dear-mr-musk-youre-wrong-about-population/ 13:58:13 From Gregory W to Everyone: Yes, thanks for that link! Elon is pretty current. This read should be re-promoted! 13:58:56 From Marian Starkey to Everyone: Here’s another one, Greg: https://populationconnection.org/blog/elon-musk-population-collapse-research/ 13:59:06 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: John's Email contact: john@popconnect.org 13:59:06 From peggy b to Everyone: You can't have ANY economy without any natural resources and viable and healthy planet to build it on! 13:59:13 From Olivia Nater to Everyone: More pronatalism/Musk blog posts: https://populationconnection.org/blog/how-the-spread-of-conservative-pronatalism-threatens-womens-hard-won-rights/ 13:59:17 From Olivia Nater to Everyone: And https://populationconnection.org/blog/the-truth-about-baby-busts-and-population-decline/ 14:00:06 From Doreen H to Everyone: Important presentation to keep us all involved! 14:00:14 From Gregory W to Everyone: The Institute for Biological Diversity seems to be the most population-conscious of the various environmental organizations (has a program of [something like] Condoms for Wildlife). Does Population Connection work to any extent with the Center for Biological Diversity? 14:00:23 From Dane K to Everyone: Thanks for the nice presentation! 14:01:21 From Stephanie Wolfe to Everyone: Hi Gregory, we love working with the Center! We've hosted a few virtual events with them and will continue our partnership. 14:01:27 From katherine s to Everyone: Endangered Species condoms from Center for Biological Diversity - they're genius 14:01:35 From Donna M to Everyone: This has been energizing for me! Thank you so much for the work that you do. 14:01:44 From Sally Watanabe to Everyone: Thank you for the great conversation! 14:01:45 From James T to Everyone: Thank you. 14:01:46 From Jennifer J to Everyone: Thank you! 14:01:58 From Isabel C to Everyone: Thank you! 14:02:00 From Nicole Martin to Everyone: Thanks! 14:02:01 From Kenneth K to Everyone: Wonderful forum! 14:02:03 From Adam E to Everyone: Thank you!
