Friends -

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day — a time for us to reflect on how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.

Donald Trump and the fossil fuel industry are posing massive threats to our planet. They’re ignoring all of the warnings from climate scientists that we are quickly running out of time to save our planet.

The need to pass the Green New Deal has never been more urgent, and the good news is that our climate army has never been stronger. We must keep fighting and organizing, and I need your help to do that.

Will you make a $3 donation to my campaign today to help me continue leading the fight for the Green New Deal in the Senate? We can win this fight, but I cannot do it alone.

When Earth Day started, climate change wasn’t yet in our lexicon. I began sounding the alarm of a warming planet at the Democratic National Convention 40 years ago, and at the time, I was a lonely voice in this fight.

But with your help, we’ve made immense progress. Now our movement has the chance to win this fight once and for all with the Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal is just common sense. The planet is warming. The storms are getting more dangerous. This is our chance to unleash a green revolution.

There has never been a more urgent or necessary moment for this revolution. As we look to recover from this pandemic, the Green New Deal sets a blueprint for how we save our planet and stimulate our economy.

The Green New Deal will create millions of good-paying jobs in a way that puts frontline communities first. Black and Brown families have always breathed different air than white families in our country.

They’ve borne the brunt of the most consequential effects of climate change and coronavirus, and they must be at the center of our fight to save the planet and our economy.

And when I win this race, that is what we are going to do together. My promise is that we will pass the Green New Deal in my next term. But I’m counting on you to join me in the trenches.

Make a $3 donation to my campaign today to make sure we win this race. We have come so far in the past 50 years, and we cannot let our opponents and the fossil fuel industry stop our progress now.

Thank you in advance for making a contribution. I’m humbled to have you in this fight with me.

All my best,

Ed Markey
