What we're up to

Third Act

Empowering seniors to lead climate and democracy action

Third Act, founded in 2021 by Bill McKibben and Vanessa Arcara, mobilizes American seniors for climate action. Leveraging their experience and substantial financial influence—they control over half of U.S. household assets—this demographic drives meaningful change. We've partnered with Third Act since their launch, developing an accessible digital platform and brand identity specifically designed for senior users. Our work includes managing their Working Groups' network while maintaining consistent branding across local chapters, ensuring easy navigation and engagement for their older audience.
