I'm reaching out to you today
to see if I can count on your support,
John. Here's why I need your help:


Power Up, our global days of action for climate justice and
community-owned renewable energy, starts in just a few days, but we're
facing a tough situation.

We've seen a huge influx of interest in our Power Up climate actions. So
much so that a few of the 350 teams around the world have reached out to
me with a request for additional funding to support their climate actions,
and if we can't raise the money that's missing in the next few days, we
will have to scale back some actions.

We can't let that happen,
John. Power Up is our chance to show the world
that a better and safer future is possible. The more climate actions we
are able to organize around the world — and the bigger we can go — the
more powerful our message to world leaders and the fossil fuel industry
will be.

I've put together a list of the actions that are at risk, and how much we
need to raise to fully fund each one. [ [link removed] ]Are you able to sponsor these
actions today?

| Item | Description | Funds |
| | | missing |
|---------------------+-------------------------------------+------------|
| | The Pacific team needs additional | |
| | funds to rent buses that will take | |
| | Pacific Island and First Nations | |
| | climate defenders from Sydney to | |
| Buses for the | the coal mining and gas lands where | $2,300 — |
| Pacific Team's | they will host a traditional | [ [link removed] ]chip in |
| Traditional Dance | ceremony. The focus of this action | today |
| action | is to unite indigenous climate | |
| | defenders and create inspiration — | |
| | to ignite a spark for the climate | |
| | movement that lives on long after | |
| | Power Up ends. | |
|---------------------+-------------------------------------+------------|
| | The Asia team, through the newly | |
| | trained Asia Solidarity Lab (ASL) | |
| | Fellows, needs additional funds for | |
| | logistical costs, transportation, | |
| | accommodation, meals and | |
| | refreshments, to ensure that the | |
| Participation | fellows and their community leaders | |
| stipends and | from across the region can | $5,000 — |
| logistical cost for | participate and support numerous | [ [link removed] ]chip in |
| the Asia team's | distributed actions. The goal of | today |
| Parachute Banner | their action is to create and | |
| action | unfurl a massive parachute banner | |
| | with the message "Asia's Future | |
| | Will Be Powered by the Sun, the | |
| | Wind, and the People" to symbolize | |
| | the region's solidarity and | |
| | commitment to sustainable energy | |
| | solutions. | |
|---------------------+-------------------------------------+------------|
| | The Latin America team needs | |
| | additional funds to rent boats that | |
| | will bring riverine communities and | |
| | indigenous people to their event in | |
| | Silves, Amazonas, Brazil. Climate | |
| | activists will speak about the need | |
| Boats for the Latin | to protect their territories from | $6,200 — |
| America team's | ongoing fossil fuel exploitation in | [ [link removed] ]chip in |
| Amazonas action | the area as well as how important | today |
| | it is for the transition to | |
| | renewable energy to be implemented | |
| | with a focus on justice. The | |
| | two-day event will have an art | |
| | contest, music, debates, and a | |
| | vigil with a diversity of | |
| | religions. | |
|---------------------+-------------------------------------+------------|
| Total | | $13,500 |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

So here's where that leaves us:

If we can raise $2,300 in the next few days, we can fully fund the buses
for the Pacific team's traditional dance action.

[ [link removed] ]CHIP IN $10 FOR BUSES

If we can raise an additional $5,000 — so $7,300 in total — we will also
be able to fund the participation stipends requested by the Asia team.

[ [link removed] ]CHIP IN $35 FOR BUSES AND STIPENDS

And if we're able to raise the full $13,500 in the next few days, we'll be
able to fund all the activities listed above, including the boats needed
for the Amazon action!

[ [link removed] ]CHIP IN $100 FOR BUSES, STIPENDS AND BOATS

You can also [ [link removed] ]chip in any other amount that works for you.

The Power Up actions we're organizing all over the world will range in
size from a dozen people standing up in their communities, to more than
1,000 attendees. But regardless of size, they are an equally important
part of the whole, and will help make Power Up a massive success.

That's why we want to be sure we're prepared to support every type of
action in every corner of the country and around the world.

Thank you for your support today,
John — it means a lot to all of us.

In solidarity,

May Boeve
Executive Director
