John,

The coronavirus crisis is not impacting us equally.

The same communities being torn apart by the climate crisis were first made vulnerable by systemic exclusion, and environmental racism. COVID-19 has only deepened the harm as underpaid and overworked members of our community are put in harms way as essential workers.

We are fighting the power of back door politics and business as usual in this moment. Polluters are pumping up the rhetoric to hide the truth while they beg for corporate welfare from national governments. Even as they profit off the destruction of our planet.

So, John, I’m asking you to contribute anything you can to continue to fight for a Just Transition and a Just Recovery. Because even in the midst of this global tragedy, national governments are finding ways to roll back vital environmental standards and prop up Big Oil and Gas.

The decisions we make now are defining a generation. It’s time for us to do better.

No one can say how long it will take to begin healing in our communities or to address the trauma and grief of this moment. What we do know, is that we cannot return to business as usual. It’s time for us to stay firm behind a bold vision that rejects decades of destruction and climate chaos.

We can choose to make brave, courageous changes right now, or with our silence allow continued corporate profit that bets against human lives. We must draw a line for the future.

Will you make a contribution right now of any amount to continue this fight? 350.org teams work around the world to put a stop to the fossil fuel industry once and for all, but we can’t do it alone. Any amount you can give will have a big impact on our shared future.

With your help, we can win.

In solidarity and with thanks,
Tamara and the 350.org team.
