Dear John,

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day — a special day to celebrate the world around us, and to join others in calling
attention to the urgency of protecting the place we all live.

Our human rights are intertwined with the environment. People need a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment to fully enjoy
their human rights, including the rights to life, health, food and water. Other
human rights, like the rights to information, freedom of expression and access
to justice, are essential for protecting the environment.

We may not be able to meet in person to mark Earth Day, but we can still come
together to celebrate and demand action for our planet.

Between today and Friday, April 24, you can stay safe at home and support the
next big youth-led #ClimateStrikeOnline! Here's how:

1. Make a climate strike sign
2. Take a photo of yourself (or with others!) holding the sign
3. Post to your favourite social media channel with the hashtags
#ClimateStrikeOnline and #DigitalStrike. Be sure to tag @amnestynow!

You can find more details in our Earth Day blog here.

crucial, the same is true for the climate crisis. Thank you for using your
