Folks – For years we’ve been told that +1.5°C warming was the climate’s “point of no return” that had to be avoided at all costs.

It was the basis of the Paris Climate Accords; a matter of survival for low-lying nations in the Global South; and a matter of long-term survival of the human species.

Late last year, researchers predicted we would hit +1.5° in 2024 – and we have.

Just this week, the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that in March 2024, global temperatures reached a record high of 1.68°C (3°F) hotter than historical averages.

In fact, we’ve just lived through TEN straight months of the hottest month on record.

Over the past 12 months, global temperatures have consistently been 1.58°C above pre-industrial temperatures – far exceeding the limit that policymakers and scientists have warned for years would threaten *all life* on the planet

Now we’re on a collision course with +2°C as the twin parties of war and Wall Street continue to pump carbon into the air while bickering about how much to tweak the margins.

We are in the grip of a climate emergency, and it’s time that we act like it. I’m a lifelong climate activist running in the MOST competitive district to get a Green Party member elected to Congress. Can you pitch in to my 100% grassroots campaign today?

Every time you hear Democrats brag about the “most climate spending ever” this election, remember that it’s not even close to enough (and tell them that).

This isn’t just my assessment as a lifelong antiwar and climate activist, and it’s not only the assessment of climate experts the world over (though that should be enough).

This truth is so obvious that even the world’s biggest polluters are raising the alarm. For over a decade now the Pentagon has called climate change the biggest threat to our national security – ignoring the fact that the U.S. military uses more fuel and emits more carbon than many industrialized nations.

We can’t continue on the same path with the same leaders and expect different results.

No congressman on Big Oil’s payroll can be trusted to take the climate crisis seriously. I’m a lifelong antiwar and climate activist, and I need your help to defeat fossil fuel’s favorite Democrat in Washington State. Can you pitch in today?

There’s no two ways about this, we have to stop putting carbon in the atmosphere.

No carbon swaps.

No tax breaks for offsets.

No incremental reductions in emissions.

We have to get off fossil fuels. Period.

This is why, in addition to running for office, I routinely take part in protests, and actively support the direct action activism of groups like Climate Defiance and Just Say No to Oil.

We need to attack this problem from multiple angles. And while direct actions are effective, we also have to demand better from our elected representatives.

Both Republicans and Democrats have accelerated global warming by EXPANDING fossil fuel extraction and pushing endless American militarism.

Help me win this seat for working people and carry our collective voices into the heart of Congress – where we will not be ignored.

In solidarity,
