What is the purpose of running in-person events for EA interested folks:

• Reminder that doing good is something that they care about and want to take action on
• Opportunity to facilitate friendships and build support networks among people who have similar values
  • Helps to prevent value drift
  • If you have EA friends and don’t need to explain what lacto-vegatarian is then that makes it easier to stick with it
