Help us get our next Proposal off the ground!
Modest Proposals has big plans for 2023. We have social movements to support, evildoers to expose, and hijinks planned at the expense of the rich and powerful. Proposals like ours take time and resources to pull off, so we're asking for your support for our next project. Every donation, no matter how small, gets us that much closer to more socially useful absurdity and humor.
About Us
Modest Proposals is an activist collective dedicated to creating positive change using satire, storytelling, and disrupting an unjust status quo. As Jonathan Swift did hundreds of years ago, we're using humor to break through entrenched thinking and destructive norms to show a fresh perspective on our world's iniquities, turn bystanders into participants, and present a kinder, more just vision for our planet's present and future.
We started as the Tech Action community group under the umbrella of Extinction Rebellion's New York City chapter. Since then we've evolved into an independent group that incorporates members of both Extinction Rebellion and The Yes Men.
