John, 2024 has been an incredible year of climate action!

Thanks to your dedication and the dedication of climate activists around
the globe, we were able to kick off bold climate campaigns and inclusive
solutions to the climate crisis this past year.

[ [link removed] ]Before we dive in, we want to express our gratitude to the hard work
done by some of the amazing climate activists this past year. Will you
take a moment to sign a thank you card and leave a message of
encouragement for 2025?

Here’s a quick look at just a few of the powerful milestones we’ve
achieved together this year:

🌍 We launched a multi-language toolkit and global network to support
communities setting up their own renewable energy projects:

We kicked off the year by launching the [ [link removed] ]“Our Own Power Toolkit" — a
multi-language, unique, and free resource that helps guide communities
through 5 phases of renewable energy campaigns. We followed up with
[ [link removed] ]“Our Own Power Network” (OOP) in October, a global network of activists
working together to build locally sourced, affordable, 100% renewable
energy systems. Together, this network is growing every day and shaping
the future of energy across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

🌞 We helped bring solar energy to areas in Uganda and Tanzania:

A few months later, we launched our [ [link removed] ]“REPower Afrika Campaign” in July
2024 with the goal of driving Africa’s shift from fossil fuels to
renewable energy. Our activists organized rallies, installed renewable
energy systems, and protested fossil fuel projects across seven countries.
This year, we’re on our way to bringing solar light to 80 public
infrastructures, from health centers to schools, but we won’t stop until
at least 80% of Africa is powered by renewable energy.

💰 We demanded world leaders tax the wealth of the ultra rich:

We launched the [ [link removed] ]“Tax Their Billions Campaign” in Europe to make the
super rich pay to fix the climate crisis. Together, we’re calling on
governments to tax those most responsible for & least impacted by the
climate crisis — billionaires and fossil fuel giants. During COP29 in
November, we released an [ [link removed] ]eye opening dossier in 4 languages exposing
the dirty secrets of eight billionaires. Activists also took to the
streets in cities across Europe to urge governments to make these
billionaires pay their fair share in taxes.

🌡️ We successfully made the case for heat pumps in Canada:

With Canada battling extreme heat this summer, our team called for a
public heat pump program to save lives, cut bills, and protect the planet
through our [ [link removed] ]“Heat Pumps for All Campaign”. Together, we recruited
volunteers across the country and hired organizing fellows in
strategically important communities. We released two [ [link removed] ]mini documentaries
on why heat pumps help tackle both the climate crisis and the
affordability crisis. And thanks to grassroots organizing, we now have the
support of 21 Members of Parliament across three political parties—and
we’re continuing to build momentum!

✊ Our campaign led to the early release of climate activist, Hong:

As Vietnam joined the $15.5 billion [ [link removed] ]Just Energy Transition Partnership
(JETP) — a deal to secure money for shifting to cleaner energy, its
government started targeting climate advocates instead of involving them.
Our ally and activist Hoàng Thi Minh Hồng was then unjustly imprisoned, so
we rallied together to demand her release. Our [ [link removed] ]“Free Hong Campaign”
garnered over 9,000 signatures and united people from over 55 countries.
Victory came on September 21 when Hong was finally released - 20 months
early! Our support for environmental defenders’ rights and inclusion
continues – we stand strong and in solidarity for all those fighting
alongside us for a better future!

John — thank you for all of your support in 2024. Our global
climate movement is only possible because of tens of thousands of people
like you standing up all over the world demanding a brighter future for us
all.

bold and courageous 350 activists from around the world who helped our
movement demand justice, drive change, and the fossil-free future we
deserve.
