Hi,

Fifty-five years ago, 20 million people took to the streets for the very first Earth Day, igniting a movement that would change the world. In that moment, we proved the power of collective action to rewrite our planet’s future.

Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads just as momentous, when we can stand our ground and show the world what people power can do, or we can crumble in the face of adversity. Our Power, Our Planet is not just a theme for Earth Day – it’s a promise that we will stand together for the sake of our shared home.

We know you’ve gotten appeal after appeal today and you may be wondering why you should give to EARTHDAY.ORG in these final hours. I’m not going to rehash every project we’ve done for the past year; I’m going to tell you what we can do.

Earth Day’s rich history of mobilizing millions of people every year makes us uniquely situated to rally and revitalize the environmental movement. We have the global brand, we have people power, and EARTHDAY.ORG is respected by partners and governments worldwide as a leader in policy and an ambassador for the message.

Our Power, Our Planet is about more than just sustainable energy — it’s about transformation and empowerment. It means creating millions of green jobs, training workers in the skills needed to power our transition, and fostering economic prosperity in every corner of the world. It means giving every community the tools to thrive in harmony with the planet and forging connections between individuals in the name of climate action and environmental justice. With people power at the core, this movement is unstoppable.

EARTHDAY.ORG invites you to join the environmental movement because we know that together, we are more than the sum of our parts. Help us continue to give voice to those courageous enough to believe in a better future for all.

Together,

Kathleen Rogers

President
