We Want Your Feedback and Participation
Written by Natalie Widel, Director of Digital Marketing | Published: March 9, 2026
Did you know that we host an average of 20 virtual events throughout the year, open to all Population Connection members and supporters? These informative and interactive events are free to attend and offer special opportunities to learn more about population issues and connect with Population Connection staff and fellow members. To help with our programming, we would love to hear from YOU about what types of events you’d be most interested in joining. Whether you’re a regular attendee, or have only been curious about our virtual events, we’re interested in your input. Go to popconnect.org/virtual-events-survey to share your thoughts with us! The survey will stay open until June 1.
Page Turners Book Club Turns Five
Since early 2021, our Page Turners book club has offered a unique opportunity to discuss population issues and associated topics with other members. The first meeting of 2026 was held in February, where we discussed Post Growth: Life After Capitalism, written by ecological economist and professor of sustainable development Tim Jackson. The book explores what a future beyond capitalism, competition, and corrosive self-interest can look like — to the benefit of both humanity and the natural world.
