Earth Month has come to a close, John.

And in honor of everything our movement accomplished this month, the team
here at 350.org put together an "Earth Month 2023: Wrapped" so you can see
all that we did together.

  Earth Month Challenge  

Time and time again, we’ve seen that the power of our climate movement
isn’t derived from special interests – it comes from the number of people
who stand with us in this fight.

We know that when many of us come together and act as one, we have the
power to hold country leaders accountable and make them invest in real,
just climate solutions.

So to kick off Earth Month, we gave you a challenge: help grow our climate
movement by inviting three people to join us and take action.

[ [link removed] ]We gave you a challenge — and you delivered. 794 Climate supporters
invited their friends to join our movement.

  Earth Month Spotlights  

This year, our focus for Earth Month was on advancing climate justice and
real solutions to the climate crisis. To do that, we wanted to shine a
spotlight on some of the powerful work our local groups are doing
worldwide.

[ [link removed] ]We took you around the globe, highlighting solutions campaigns in
Canada, South Africa, Ghana, and Turkey.

First, we took a look at South Africa. There our partner organization,
[ [link removed] ]Climate Justice Coalition, has been leading many actions to ensure that
justice and renewable energy are at the top of the government’s agenda.

Next, we told you about the work of our Canada team. They’ve held Prime
Minister Trudeau accountable to his promise of a just transition – which
led to the government’s [ [link removed] ]Sustainable Jobs Plan!

From there, we took a look at the powerful work being done by our 350
Ghana Reduce our Carbon team – including stopping the plans for a
coal-driven power plant. Their [ [link removed] ]‘Renewable Energy for Communities’
campaign is growing quickly and leading the movement for clean energy in
Ghana.

And finally, we learned about the efforts of our local team in Turkey.
They have been fighting for a just transition from coal to renewable
energy for years, and are [ [link removed] ]publishing compelling reports on sustainable
climate solutions that would refocus their local economy.

  Earth Month Quiz  

Our central theme for this month was investing in climate solutions. We’ve
seen that the more our climate movement talks about solutions – clean,
renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, firmly rooted within climate
justice – the more the fossil fuel industry tries to co-opt the message.

So we came up with a fun quiz to educate our supporters as to what these
false solutions look like, so that we can stay aware of the fossil fuel
industry’s tactics and won't let them derail the conversation.

[ [link removed] ]We sent out a quiz where 2,002 people learned about false solutions
spouted by the fossil fuel industry.

  Earth Month Donor Stories  

Throughout the month, we asked you to chip in and help us hit our Earth
Month fundraising goal of 3,500 individual contributions.

To show our gratitude
and appreciation, we asked our donors to share why they support 350. We
got so many great responses, including this one:

[ [link removed] ]We asked our donors to share why they support 350. 'I support 350 in
their climate campaigns because of their tenacity and success in many
areas. I support other organizations too, but 350 has global reach and the
potential to make change happen with our support.'

Even though Earth Month has ended, that doesn't mean our fight for the
climate is over. Far from it. Thank you for standing alongside us in this
fight. More soon.

- Team 350
