I can't believe I have to write this to you today,
John:

Ahead of the bilateral climate talks between the U.S. and China, U.S.
Climate Envoy John Kerry shut down the idea of any U.S. reparations to
countries hit by climate-fueled disasters.^1

This is ludicrous, John. I'm
about to jump into what this means for our global climate movement, but
time is running out before John Kerry leaves the climate talks in China so
I'm asking for your help now:

[ [link removed] ]Can you rush a
$3.50
donation today to help us fight back against John Kerry's decision to
refuse climate support to the global frontline communities hit hardest by
the climate crisis? We only have 24 hours until he leaves, so we’ve set
out to make a bold statement by raising $25,000 to fund climate organizing
in the Global South.

It is unbelievable that in the midst of scientists and international
headlines around the world telling us that the planet saw its hottest day
on record, anyone is second guessing the need to support communities most
impacted by climate disasters. Especially the frontline communities who
have done the least to cause them.

As one of the largest emitters globally, the United States bears the
largest responsibility for accelerating climate chaos across the globe.

But when it comes time to create actual mechanisms or pay into funds for
damage, adaptation, and reparations, or put their words into practice that
might actually be meaningful for the Global South communities facing
historic and deadly climate impacts every day, the United States continues
to shy away.

Here at 350.org, we refuse to give up. We will continue to advocate for
U.S. leadership that truly takes accountability for our outsized global
role in the climate crisis. We will continue to organize frontline
communities all over the globe to build community-owned renewable energy
projects. Our organizing strategy links climate activists from every
corner of the globe to fight for our people and our planet.

[ [link removed] ]But time is not on our side,
John. In less than 24 hours John Kerry is
leaving these bilateral climate talks and before he leaves, we are setting
out to raise $25,000 to fight back against his decision and bolster
climate organizing and activism across the Global South. If you are able,
please chip in today to help us hit this goal.

Your support today will be put straight to work in regions like the
Pacific Islands and the Philippines where climate activists are working to
build community-owned renewable energy projects.

Every single donation makes a huge difference in our ability to grow and
build our global climate movement. Thank you for chipping in what you can
today to this important cause.

In solidarity,

Jeff Ordower
