We hope this lasting memorial can offer an opportunity to share memories of Max. Max was dedicated to enacting positive social change and in his memory, we are raising funds for one of the first organizations he worked with, Planned Parenthood. As well as other progressive causes. You can read some of Max's early articles, which showcase his early work with Planned Parenthood, here: https://rewirenewsgroup.com/author/max-kamin-cross/ And an example of one of his earliest instances of activism at age twelve here: https://www.uuworld.org/articles/congregation-pledges-halve-holiday-spending Max was always ready to knock doors, help register voters, and drive friends to the polls. He could talk to anyone about politics, even if he didn't always agree. Max hounded each and every one of his friends to vote, and truly cared about making sure people could make their voices heard. In his honor, consider donating to the American Civil Liberties Union or the Brennan Center for Justice. Max also loved wilderness activities and sports. He spent much of his childhood enjoying outdoor activities like archery, skiing, and hiking. He was a certified medical rescuer and even participated in the junior olympic archery trials. Please consider supporting this passion in his honor with a donation to the Open Outdoors for Kids through the National Park Foundation. Through this site, you can make a donation to a cause that Max cared about in his honor, either to any of the causes listed or another organization of your choosing. You can also share photos and memories for Max's loved ones to see.
