The Modern Activist is an online community dedicated to creating a sustainable future we can all enjoy together. Founders Rebecca and Thomas Webber are on a mission to discover and teach the beliefs, skills and vision modern thought leaders need to succeed.

Rebecca and Thomas met in 2013 while attending Western Washington University. Rebecca was already and active community organizer, adviser and the Executive Director of a socially conscious production company. Thomas was dedicated to overcoming bureaucracy, improving workplace culture and helping create a system of education that empowers each individual student. Rebecca graduated with a degree in Modern Applied Cultural Anthropology (aka Modern Activism) and Thomas graduated with a degree in Business Management.
The first movie they ever watched together was the documentary No Impact Man. They believe this set them on the path they are on now - seeking true sustainability. They see a fundamental barrier between what we have now and what we will achieve in the future being the lack of resources for today's changemakers. They aim to fix that by using this website to showcase the methodology, curriculum and support services they are creating to raise the floor on what is possible. Collaboration will be key! |
