SHRINK TOWARD ABUNDANCE
We envision a future where our human footprint is in balance with life on Earth, enabling all species to thrive.
Our Work
We inspire narrative, behavioral, and system change that shrinks our human impact and elevates the rights and wellbeing of people, animals, and the planet.
We are proud to be the first and only organization globally that uses an anti-oppression lens to draw connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, social inequalities, and ecological overshoot, and offer solutions to address their combined impacts on the planet, people, and animals.
Our Pillars
-
We challenge pronatalism — the societal pressures to have children — and empower liberated and informed choices for ourselves and the planet, including adopting broader understandings of “family” with our human and nonhuman kin.
-
We challenge the worldview of human supremacy — that humans are superior to all other life forms — and advocate for a radical shift in our relationship with all animals and with the entire natural world: from one of domination and exploitation, to one of reverence, justice, and care.
-
We challenge unjust, growth-driven socioeconomic systems that exploit and disempower people and threaten all life on Earth, in favor of systems that respect ecological limits and advance social justice.
Our Initiatives
Our podcasts, classroom and conference presentations, and academic and popular media publications make the connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, growthism, and ecological overshoot, and promote urgently needed life-affirming pathways.
Support Our Vital Work
The vital work we do through our podcasts, publications, and presentations is not possible without the generosity of supporters like you, and we are grateful to those of you who join us in our work to build resilient, life-affirming alternatives.
