Designed to make activism approachable, chilli empowers people to take meaningful environmental action by turning simple tasks—like signing petitions, emailing companies, or contacting lawmakers—into collective pressure for structural change.

What we love: How chilli leverages AI to generate emails, tailored to your values, that you can send to decision-makers. The specificity makes them effective; each one addresses the recipient by name, references something they’re publicly on record for, and pushes for a concrete action by a deadline.

Quick tip: Back the activists you believe in with a one-time or monthly donation. Every dollar goes directly to them—and chilli will match your contribution for six months (up to $1,000 per creator).

Meet the creator: Before launching the app, the team spent three years interviewing organizers and activists about the best strategies for engaging people at scale. “The goal was to make activism feel less like a civic duty and more like something you’d actually do between meetings,” cofounder Xavier Durand says. “Every action in the app takes under two minutes.”
