How to Survive is a media and action project focused on under-socialized solutions to the most pressing challenges of our times.
The climate crisis. The housing crisis. The A.I. job crisis. The cost of groceries.
We're taking actionable solutions that you haven't heard of and bringing them to you – so we can survive these crises, and make a better world for our communities today and for future generations.
These aren't moonshots. Our solutions are actionable, sustainable, and cost-effective — in many cases, the most affordable routes we can take.
This involves:
As a result of this work, key solutions get adoption — from consumer demand, to policy, to industry shifts.
Like all media projects, this requires sustainable funding.
We're exploring earned revenue opportunities aligned with solutions — from energy, to housing, to software, to everyday services in our communities.
That includes partnering with leading companies and organizations, and partnering with people putting solutions to work on-the-ground.
We're interested in mission-aligned capital and private investment for this work, bringing in resources to scale up these solutions.
We also have 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsorship from the Southern Documentary Fund, for the creation of stories, media, and resources.

Each intervention solves an affordability crisis and an emissions crisis at once — and stays extraction-free for the communities using it.
Mission-aligned capital for solutions with significant margin upside as we displace exploitative incumbents — with commitments to keep ownership in community hands.
Open-source tools, field toolkits, policy templates, and on-the-ground partner introductions to bring any of the six solutions to your community.
