Hi Friend,
Every summer brings record temperatures and blistering heat waves across the country – and it’s becoming our new normal. Coal, oil, and gas companies are heating up the planet for profit while our communities suffer, and Wall Street is bankrolling them.
We’re not planning to just sit around in the heat this summer, Friend. Starting next Monday, June 10th, we’re building a mass movement of people who will take sustained direct action for 12 weeks to demand that Wall Street stop financing our planet’s destruction.
We need your help to make the next 12 weeks the most disruptive, impactful, and inspiring that we can to show Wall Street financial giants like Citi and BlackRock that we won’t continue to let them fund climate chaos.
We’re asking you to throw down with us during Summer of Heat by becoming a weekly donor for just 12 weeks. By donating weekly, you will help fund 3-5 civil disobedience actions each week that disrupt business as usual at some of the worst climate change financiers.
Can we count on you to start a weekly donation from now through the end of August, Friend? Even just $3, $5, or $10 a week goes a long way toward fighting Wall Street.
Your weekly donation will only be charged through the week of August 26, 2024.
We know it might feel difficult to commit to a weekly donation for 12 weeks, but this is the time to go all out for our climate and communities. A weekly donation of even just $5 means we can have the resources to run this campaign and provide legal support for escalated direct action.
Here’s a breakdown of what your weekly donation can do:
-
Donating $5 a week for 12 weeks becomes $60 – providing pro-bono legal support for one activist taking direct action.
-
$10 turns into $120 – a person’s participation in a half-day nonviolent direct action training.
-
$27 becomes $324 – a day’s worth of gathering space to hold art builds, meetings, and break bread together.
-
$83 turns into $996 – travel, lodging, and food for an activist to disrupt the vacations of Wall Street executives in the Hamptons.
When you donate, we’ll also make sure you’re updated on Summer of Heat actions throughout the next 12 weeks so you don’t miss out on how we’re taking on corporate power and can see your contribution at work.
Will you join us over the next 12 weeks to disrupt business as usual by contributing $5, $10, or any amount you can weekly to fuel our summer of civil disobedience?
Disruptive, direct action campaigns like Summer of Heat can make big funding institutions nervous – that’s why we’re counting on activists like you to help us get the resources we need to make the next 3 months as uncompromising and impactful as possible.
Our goal is to make our movement undeniable to Wall Street and the fossil fuel companies they fund, and we’ll do it together, Friend.
Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to see you on the streets.
