John -

The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is being held in Chicago next
week.

And Big Oil lobbyists will be there to try to push their climate-wrecking
agenda. So will greedy, for-profit utility companies, who are buying
influence with both political parties to maintain the status quo: sky-high
bills and dirty fossil fuel energy sources.

That's why it's critical that we send climate activists to the DNC to
represent the climate movement, and the interests of the people.

I will explain exactly what our plan is for the DNC in just a moment, but
first: [ [link removed] ]can you make a

donation today to help send as many climate activists as possible to the
DNC?

The DNC is much more than the convention where the Democratic presidential
nominee is selected. It's also a space where lobbyists and activists
convene to try and influence politics.

At the DNC, fossil fuel and utility company lobbyists will be whispering
in policymakers' ears and trying to dissuade them from committing to bold
climate actions. We can't let them go unchallenged.

So what are we going to do about it?

I am going to the DNC, and I'm bringing a team of climate activists with
me. Our plan is twofold: to disrupt the fossil fuel industry's attempts to
garner support for continued climate destruction, and to instead get
Democrats to commit to climate action and utility justice.

We will need to be in as many conversations as possible, and we need to be
the loudest voice in the room, so that we can push the new administration
— if elected — for a complete phase-out of fossil fuels and invest in
just, sustainable, community-owned renewable energy for all.

But we can't do it without you,
John.

DNC costs are exorbitant, and unlike Big Oil lobbyists with their
bottomless pockets of money, we will need your support to maximize our
impact at the convention. We're relying on you to afford attendance,
travel to Chicago and in between hotels and event locations, basic
lodging, food and video equipment, so we can organize for bold climate
action around the clock and get policymakers and influencers on the record
about climate and utilities.

And with just four days left until the DNC begins, I have to ask: can you
help us put climate on the agenda in Chicago?

[ [link removed] ]If you can, please consider making a donation today so we can push for
bold climate action at the DNC, and grow our climate movement to hold
policymakers accountable to their promises.

This is our chance to shape the future of U.S. climate politics. Because
the DNC is only the beginning — it will be laying the foundation for
climate action in the next four years in the case of a Democratic win.

I'll keep you posted throughout the week on how your generous contribution
is helping us protect our climate and our communities. Thank you for your
support in this crucial moment.

Onward,
