John, there is no debate. The climate crisis is here, burning our world and poisoning our air. We’re not just fighting for a distant future anymore.

Unprecedented Canadian wildfires, intensified by record-high temperatures and abnormal droughts, raged out of control and created toxic smoke that poisoned our air here in Pennsylvania this week.

Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled State Senate was hard at work passing legislation to… rename the Department of Environmental Protection to the Department of Environmental Services.

Because they don’t like the “connotation” that its purpose is to enforce the law and protect our environment.

John, we wish we were kidding, but this is the unfortunate reality of the PA GOP. Can you pitch in $10 today to help us expand the electorate and elect leaders that prioritize our people in the midst of the climate crisis?

This disaster was not just a wake-up call to the reality that the climate crisis is already here; it was a reminder that it disproportionately harms the most vulnerable and neglected communities.

Toxic smoke is far more harmful to those whose lungs have already been damaged by poor air quality and those who cannot take shelter. Black, Indigenous, and other people of color are significantly more likely to be exposed to harmful climate environments.

Climate justice is racial justice, and both depend on democracy. Will you donate $10 right now to help us engage historically disenfranchised communities in the fight for democracy and a liveable planet?
