It may seem a little early for that title but for many, the sentiment is real and felt deeply.

Politics aside we thought John Oliver nailed something pretty fundamental in his most recent show.

“We’re gonna have to actively stand up for one another. And it can’t be just sounding off on the internet or sharing think pieces or videos like this one that echo around your bubble. I’m talking about actual sacrifice to support people who are now under threat.

— John Oliver

Yes. A thousand times, yes. Words are important and words matter but the actions that change lives and have impact speak louder.

We put together a Goodbye 2016 campaign featuring each of the nonprofits and causes John Oliver mentioned on his show. The campaign will let you give to any of the organizations individually or all of them as a group. You can also explore each of them, sign up for updates, or look for opportunities to get involved and volunteer.

You can do the same. By joining Public Good and creating a profile you can find the organizations and causes you care about most. You can follow them, favorite them, and share a link showcasing what you’re passionate about and who you plan to stand up for in the coming year.
