Hi John,

Just a couple of weeks ago we asked you and the entire 350 European online
community to take a survey and help shape our collective strategic
direction in this new decade.

We already know that people are what powers the climate movement, and
people will win the fight against the fossil fuel industry. We also know
we must evolve to meet new challenges, and that we’re more committed than
ever to stand together for a better future.

Close to 5000 of us took our 2020 supporter survey to help us understand
where we want to focus the power and energy of our campaigning, and what
we need to improve to win. Here’s a small taste of the results, and please
make sure to [ [link removed] ]read more on the survey results (with graphs!) in this
blog post!

>> How hopeful are you about the climate movement’s work to stop climate
breakdown?

We seem to be divided in (almost) equal parts between having little to no
hope (33%), feeling moderately to very hopeful (31%), and sitting
somewhere in between (36%). Fair enough: the future can sometimes seem
uncertain. Wherever you are on this scale, the best antidote for
hopelessness is taking action with others – and there’s still so much we
can do together.

>> Which of these possible campaigns or activities do you find
interesting?

Mobilising communities and pushing governments to accelerate the
transition to a renewable energy economy:

Pressuring banks and governments to cut off financing for fossil fuel
projects:

Supporting big global mobilisations like the climate strikes:

We agree: continued work to end fossil finance, and pull money away from
fossil fuels, should remain our strategic focus (“extremely interesting”
for 70% of us). That’s why we need to double down on getting banks to stop
dealing with polluters. See [ [link removed] ]more on this question in the blog post.

>> How effective do you think 350 is in engaging you in strategic
campaigns and organising to address the climate crisis?

Good news: more than half of us (52%) think 350 is either effective or
very effective in engaging our supporters in campaigns for climate
justice, though we have a lot of space to improve. Our commitment: we will
keep intervening together when we can help shift things, make marginalised
voices and struggles visible, or where our collective pressure can have an
impact.

When preparing the survey, we asked ourselves: where do we want to focus
the power and energy of our campaigning? Which of the many paths before us
do we take together? What do we need to win, other than each other? What
we got was a feeling of support, of readiness, and of urgency - and it
helps us shape our next steps.

The climate justice movement has been growing in power for years, and this
new decade is about focused action.

John, thank you for being part of this community and for every
action you take. From sharing uplifting videos about people winning
against coal projects everywhere, to showing up to demonstrations, to
chipping in to help fund our campaigns, everything you do matters in
changing the conversation.

Onwards,

Julia and the entire 350 Europe team

PS: We’re building campaigns to confront the power of the fossil fuel
corporations. We might not have their billions, but we have each other. If
you’re in this for the long run, consider chipping in with a small
