Hi John, Jane Fonda here.

I’m reaching out today in hopes that you’ll join me in supporting these Virginia Climate Champions in the November election.

If you’ve ever heard me talk about the climate crisis for more than a minute or two, you have probably heard me mention how important it is that we not give into despair when it comes to combating the climate crisis.

For me, taking action and embracing hope is absolutely essential. While there are significant challenges ahead of us, we should never forget the progress we've made, and we should make sure to do everything we can to protect that progress. Now we have an opportunity to do just that in Virginia.

Before GOP Governor Youngkin took office, Governor Ralph Northam worked with state legislators and key stakeholders to set the state on a path to transition to 100% renewable energy. By passing policies such as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) and participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), Virginia established itself as a leader toward a clean energy future for all of our communities. Unfortunately, this hard-won progress is under attack.

Right now, Republicans hold a slim majority in the State House of Delegates, and Democrats hold a slim majority in the State Senate. With an anti-climate governor in office, it’s essential that we elect as many pro-climate candidates to the general assembly this November.

This is where you come in. Will you make a contribution to support these candidates today?

My team and I will be reaching out between now and November 7 to keep you updated on the race and how you can get involved, but your support today will ensure that Virginia can continue to lead the way toward a clean energy future.

More soon,

Jane Fonda

P.S. I will be calling several supporters who contribute to our Virginia candidates between now and Election Day to thank them for their support, so please make sure to include your phone number on the donation page when you contribute!
