John, when I think about everything we’re up against in the climate fight — from the relentless grip the fossil fuel industry has on our political system to rapidly escalating climate disasters and the GOP’s dystopian Project 2025 agenda — it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

But there’s something that always keeps me moving forward. It’s hope. (I think a lot of us were feeling a bit more of that feeling this week, right?)

I always say: Hope is like a muscle. The more we use it, the stronger it gets. But it doesn’t grow on its own. We have to keep working at it, especially when the challenges seem insurmountable.

The thing about hope is that it’s not passive. It’s not sitting around, waiting for something good to happen. No, hope is active. Hope is getting up every day, even when the odds are stacked against us, and saying, “I’m not giving up.”

Hope is voting in every election, even when not every election goes our way. It’s showing up at protests, town halls, and community meetings, even when it feels like no one is listening. It’s continuing to organize, educate, and advocate for bold climate policies, even when progress is slow.

Every time you knock on a door, make a phone call, or cast your ballot, you’re building that muscle.

John, the fossil fuel industry is betting on our despair. They’re hoping we’ll get tired, that we’ll give up. But they're underestimating us.

I can’t afford to let despair win when my grandchildren’s futures are on the line. We’re not just fighting for ourselves — we’re fighting for the world our kids and grandkids will inherit. When I leave this place, I want my grandkids to know that I did everything in my power to create a livable future for them. I have no choice but to choose hope.

And our hope isn’t in vain; it’s fueled by the victories we’ve already achieved together and the belief that we can achieve even more.

Your support through JanePAC alone has made a real difference. Together, we’ve helped force Big Oil to drop a dangerous referendum in California. We’ve also endorsed more than 65 candidates across the nation this year, from the House to local offices, who are committed to environmental justice.

In key races around the country, we’re paving the way for a shift in power, like in Arizona, where all 11 of our endorsed candidates won their state legislature primaries.

Watching Kamala Harris accept the Democratic nomination this week filled me with hope. The energy from young people and climate voters around her candidacy is palpable. But to truly seize this moment, we need to stay engaged and keep pushing forward.

So today, I’m asking you to join me in building that muscle. Let’s keep this movement strong by supporting the leaders who are fighting for our future. If you’re ready to help me keep hope alive in the climate fight, chip in any amount to fuel our mission and elect climate champions in November and beyond. [[link removed]]
