Dear MoveOn member, 

From the torrential rain and floods drowning Vermont and parts of upstate New York to the dangerous and unrelenting heat baking the Southwest, extreme weather is becoming the new normal, supercharged by climate change.1

In Vermont, the Winooski River, which runs through Montpelier, crested at 21 feet early on Tuesday.2

Thousands of people in Vermont have lost their homes or businesses—-or both.3 A hardware store owner in in downtown Barre, Vermont, has nine feet of rain in his store's flooded basement, causing him to lose an estimated $300,000 in inventory.4

A 43-year-old woman in upstate New York died in a flash flood last Sunday while trying to rescue her dad's dog.5

More than 50 million people across the South and West are experiencing dangerous and deadly levels of heat.6

In response to this extreme weather, climate activist Bill McKibben said, "This is the last slap upside the head we're going to get when it might still matter. It's obviously a pivotal moment in the Earth's climatic history. It also needs to be a pivotal moment in the Earth's political history."7

John, we urgently need to intensify pressure on lawmakers at all levels of government to confront the climate crisis. That's why MoveOn just printed a big batch of these "Earth Can't Wait" stickers, and we are giving them away for FREE while supplies last.

The hottest days ever recorded on the planet occurred a week ago Tuesday. That record was tied the next day. And then broken again the day after that.8

And, yet, there's still reason for optimism: We still have a window to prevent ever-worsening extreme weather events and catastrophic climate change by coming together to pressure lawmakers to end our reliance on fossil fuels and shift to clean, renewable energy.

The time is now. And it couldn't be more urgent.

You can help add more pressure on lawmakers to act with fierce urgency to tackle the climate crisis by ordering your free "Earth Can't Wait" sticker, displaying it prominently, and sharing this email with your family and friends so that they can learn more and order their own sticker.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Book bans have skyrocketed thanks to right-wing state laws which have forced teachers to remove books from their classrooms. In response, MoveOn is launching a "Banned Bookmobile," filling it with books that the far right has banned, and driving it around to hand out those books, for free, in highly trafficked areas that will attract media attention. To keep the Banned Bookmobile up and running into 2024, we need your help.
