Act Now Coalition

Act Now Coalition is a 501(c)3 nonprofit startup that started operations in March of 2020, as an ad-hoc response to the pandemic, that has since served more than 18 million Americans directly and 1,000+ local, state, & federal governments, nonprofits, & commercial partners with accurate and reliable COVID data. We started as a volunteering effort that provided open-source COVID modeling and data, and grew into one of the few trusted independent voices in providing disease intelligence services, in an intuitive and accessible format.

After fighting a pandemic, and saving lives, we have now embarked on a new journey, mitigating climate change, through partnering with organizations like Rewiring America to help mobilize America reduce carbon emissions, adding new jobs to the economy, and having fun while doing it! Our vision is nothing short of a massive war-time mobilization effort to transform the fossil fuel economy into a fully electrified one, leading to a future that saves people thousands of dollars a year in energy bills, while creating millions of jobs, reducing pollution, and improving health. 

We continue operating under the same mission-driven philosophy we were founded upon, leveraging the power of accurate, accessible, and actionable data to help people and governments make informed decisions. We are: 

• Mission-driven: we are here to help save lives.
• Fast-moving: we move incredibly fast in times of crisis.
• Humble: we are collaborative, cheerful, constructive, and low-ego.
• Open & Truth-seeking: we are data-driven, transparent, and motivated to get the best answer. We recognize perfection may not be possible when time is of the essence, we consider how we may be wrong, and we are transparent about our approach and its limitations.
