Dear Friend,
Tomorrow, the world will watch a 34-time convicted felon be sworn in as President of the United States.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the news cycle right now, you are not alone. We are feeling it too -- we bet most of us are. It feels a lot like grief. Grief for the future we envisioned under a different leader. Grief for the life we are continuously fighting for and the long road ahead of us.
The next four years are going to be hard, but despair is not an option. As we get ready to fight back, we need to know if we can call on you for key organizing moments. Add your name -- pledge to fight for our future.
The first few months of the Trump presidency will be critical to pushing back against dangerous authoritarianism, blocking his efforts to strip endangered species of their protection, and defending the clean energy programs we so urgently need to fight runaway climate change.
In addition to the devastating policies his administration is planning to enact under Project 2025, they have assumed a scorched earth environmental policy even as Los Angeles continues to burn. All while oil and gas CEOs grow richer at the expense of everyday people and our future.
Corporations and the politicians in their pockets want us to feel demoralized and discouraged, to give into hopelessness and despair. They want us to feel small and fractured so that we don't fight back. But the moral arc of the universe is long, and the environmental movement will do what it has always done: rise together.
Action is the antidote to despair. Join us. |
