Dear John,

For centuries we have been building alternative economies, local
resiliency, and mutual aid networks to deal with the interwoven crises of
economic, racial, social, and climate injustice. At Climate Justice
Alliance all of this means providing mutual aid and support that puts
resources directly into the hands of those impacted, because those closest
to these issues have the solutions.

“Our communities are situated to respond to this pandemic because they
are rooted in something the extractive economy isn’t: genuine
relationships. We have trust, experience, power, and we can deliver. But we
can't do it alone - there are critical resources we need. For example in
Richmond, we need funding to purchase equipment to keep our CSA running as
an essential business and to support our elders and those with compromised
immune systems who are not able to work at this time. Across the country,
CJA members and other frontline communities are facing similar and their
own unique challenges - can we count on your support?” _Doria Robinson -
Executive Director, Urban Tilth [3]/ Our Power Richmond [4], CJA Member_

If you are in a position to, PLEASE CONSIDER DONATING TO ONE OR MORE OF OUR
MEMBERS IN YOUR REGION TO SUPPORT THE CRITICAL WORK THEY’RE DOING RIGHT
NOW.

Donate to our Members Now! [5]

All across the United States, territories, and Indian Country our members
are providing the critical infrastructure necessary to respond to COVID-19
and making sure those most at risk receive the care and support they need.

Since we found out about this pandemic, our team has been working to ensure
that our members are resourced in every way possible. We are supporting
member to member dialogue and support networks, developed a dashboard for
information sharing, and are hosting skills-shares and trainings for our
members. We also have a disaster rapid response fund dedicated to
situations like this. Within the next week we will be sending out the first
wave of grants from this fund to members.

If you have extra capacity right now, you can also support CJA’s Rapid
Response Fund, BUT REMEMBER THAT GIVING TO THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU [5] WILL
HAVE THE MOST IMMEDIATE IMPACT RIGHT NOW.

Donate to CJA's
Rapid Response Fund

In solidarity,

Angela Adrar

P.S. We know that times are tough. If you can’t contribute money but have
plenty of spare time, check out the People’s Bailout campaign [6] we’ve
been working on. It's already supported by over 450 groups and several
legislators. We’re pulling out all the stops to ensure that any relief
for COVID-19 is rooted in justice, balances short- and long-term recovery
efforts, and focuses on people rather than profits while building a new
system that won’t contribute to worse crises in the future.
