CoLab Debate

CoLab Debate: A Learning Center for Debate and Cooperative Leadership
CoLab Debate is a startup nonprofit program with a mission to catalyze a new generation of collaborative community leaders through innovative and inclusive debate education. CoLab scholars gain the skills they need to win debate championships, and learn to use those skills to bridge divides, shape policies, and create positive change.
Democracy is in crisis, and longstanding global threats continue to grow. Academic, political, and administrative institutions are in a state of unprecedented precarity. Young people are poised to remake the world in radically new ways.
Part workshop, part research center, part organizing network, CoLab Debate offers its unique curriculum through educational programs, including summer debate camps for high school students. We use forensics to teach not only competitive excellence but essential portable skills, including creative problem solving, critical thinking, technology/media literacy and strategy, consensus building, organizing, deep listening, and conflict resolution. Our guest lecture series at camp gives students the priceless opportunity to learn from the best and network with an expansive roster of prominent activists, public servants, and change-makers from across the country.
We fully fund camp scholarships for underserved and systems-impacted students who are motivated to fight for change in their communities. In doing so, CoLab Debate aims to empower young people to reshape the world, not just climb existing ladders.
With your support, by summer 2026 we will:
- Hire our all-volunteer staff as employees
- Launch our website, including virtual opportunities for students to access our curriculum
- Host a pilot project of our summer debate camp
- Provide full scholarships (including room, board, and transportation) enabling 20 underserved/systems-impacted students to attend our 2026 summer debate camp

The Regenerative Technology Project
Regeneration & Systems ChangeThe Regenerative Technology Project’s mission is to accelerate regeneration in the Tech sector. We reimagine technological innovation as a catalyst for thriving societies, ecologies, and economies. As ecosystem builders, our work is to co-create open resources and support entrepreneurs, investors, and organizations in regenerative technology ideation, development,
and innovation.
Our project has three primary modes of affecting systemic change in tech
- Community Building & Education
- Regenerative Tech Directory & Mutual Aid Platform
- Innovation Station (Hub for Initiatives & Moonshots)
Recognizing that our current tech paradigm mirrors and accelerates extractive economic models, we propose a bold new vision: One in which technology helps regenerate rather than degenerate life, which empowers rather than undermines future generations towards ecosocial alignment, and compounds rather than erodes multiple forms of capital.
Support an era of tech that helps all life thrive. We invite you to connect and design moonshot regenerative tech with us! hello@regentech.co

Soil Smart – Soil Wise

Soil Smart – Soil Wise
Regeneration & Systems Change, Social & Environmental JusticeVision
We help cities achieve resilience by connecting their residents, city departments, land developers, and agricultural components to actively support the bionic pump, thus ensuring a cooler, wetter, more resilient local climate.
Mission
We achieve our vision by working to ensure soil health through composting, biochar, biologic applications, etc. Then we support regenerative landscaping, so that the land holds water, and we complete the biotic pump by the planting of Miyawaki mini forests.
Our Inspiration
Having been concerned about climate change for decades, I was overjoyed to discover that there IS something we—normal people, can do to address the major effect—heat! The focus on carbon and getting it out of the air and into the ground has not proved to be empowering, nor successful. The research by Anastasia Markova, in which she named the biotic pump as the system that naturally cooled the Earth, gave me inspiration.
Carbon is all about not getting hotter—a good idea. But the biotic pump is all about cooling, a much better idea, in my view. Not only that it is something that we all can contribute to. It is also something, as practiced in real life, that begins to change how we see and interact with the planet. We all lament that things need to change, that we need to be “different” but that difference is rarely mentioned or clarified. Working with the biotic pump, to strengthen it, shifts our understanding and our behavior in ways that actually work with natural processes, with the Earth herself, to make the change that nature is working to make, herself.
We offer education and consulting to help residents and cities discover ways they can begin to reignite the living systems around them so they thrive. As a Rethink Tank™ we offer the opportunity to rethink how we are living on this planet by considering options that are more closely aligned with nature. Understanding the natural system means we can work with it to help cool our tiny part of the Earth. Here is Soil Smart – Soil Wise’s strategy to do just that:
Each of these steps is something that any landowner can do and soil health is something that even renters can do. We are here to help. Please, join us!

Andrew’s Wish
Youth Impact, Community Impact & EngagementThis Christmas, J & J Publishing is again working with ISI to bring the wonderful children’s book Andrew’s Wish into the hands of children in need. Many families are still struggling with current inflationary effects, etc. Every donation will assist in bringing the magic of Andrew’s Wish to children and communities to help bring some extra Christmas cheer. You may make a donation for the cost of the book ($20) or any amount. Any amount is appreciated and valued!
The books will be donated to organizations that help children in need through special assistance programs; including churches, schools, children with special needs and other charitable organizations.
Andrew’s Wish, written in a style reminiscent of The Night Before Christmas and Dr. Seuss (appealing to all ages), is the tale of Andrew, a very remarkable reindeer, whose devotion and courage lead him on an unforgettable adventure, changing his life forever.
Magnificent illustrations and the accompanying CD with the inspired narration of the rhymed text by Kelsey Grammer create the perfect environment for this fun and enchanting story of kindness, courage, thinking of others first and the joy of giving. The classically trained actor, Kelsey Grammer was so touched by this book, that he gifted his delightful recording.
The CD also gives a tool to children who need help with improving their reading skills by listening as they follow along reading the text.
The story brings us into Santa’s Village on Christmas Eve where Andrew finds a box of gifts Santa left behind. Quickly rising to the occasion, Andrew, thinking only of the children, carries the box over the snow-covered hills to find the kingdom of the elves. There, Andrew hopes his wish for the gifts to somehow arrive by Christmas morning will be granted by the Elven King.
This charming and uplifting holiday story is beautifully illustrated by Emmy Award winner and Academy Award nominee Gary Lund. Every hardcover 9” by 11” book includes the CD mentioned above.
Andrew transports himself into the heart of every reader with his message of love, helping everyone find the magic of Christmas and encouraging a passion for reading. At this time, children are in need of positive messages and assistance to help improve their reading skills.
