[Image alt text: Ceres logo] < [link removed] > Dear John,

The country has ushered in a new direction of federal leadership, steering us towards a significant shift in priorities.

It is unsurprising that President Trump launched an overhaul of the nation’s energy and environmental protections yesterday right after the inauguration. President Trump vowed to fulfill his promises on the campaign trail, and he did—including withdrawing the United States from the Paris Agreement, again.

We are disappointed, but we knew that this day would come. And we also know that the road ahead over the next four years will be challenging.

But there is hope. No matter the political headwinds we are facing, our resolve is unshaken. With you by our side, Ceres remains steadfast in our mission to support the private sector and maintain momentum toward a clean energy economy.

Historic policies over the past few years have already unleashed benefits for people and the planet. Investments in clean energy and American manufacturing made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) are already creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and economic benefits in states—red, blue, and purple—across the country.

And with our networks of business advocates, Ceres is well-positioned to advance this impactful work. We hear loud and clear from investors and companies how important these policies are to American competitiveness and economic growth, and we will make sure that lawmakers on both sides of the aisle hear that message too.John, will you become a monthly sustainer today? < [link removed] >

With your support, Ceres will continue to defend federal and state climate policies and ensure that sound investments in a clean and robust economy continue to take hold, including:
- Help decarbonize the highest-emitting U.S. sectors through thought leadership, policy advocacy, and investor engagement

- Encourage companies to set greenhouse gas emissions targets, address deforestation, protect biodiversity, and integrate water risks into decision-making

- Defend the IRA and mobilize support for strong policy and regulatory action at the state and federal level through our policy networks and the Ceres Accelerator for Sustainable Capital Markets

- Work with the insurance sector to address unprecedented climate and financial risks from escalating wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, and other calamities

- Engage with partners and stakeholders in the U.S. and around the world to drive just, equitable, and inclusive economic solutions

We have been through this before.Without federal action, the private sector and states must lead again. When President Trump took over the White House in 2016 and the administration pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement in 2017, states led the way on responsible policy solutions and have reaped the economic benefits.

Advancing clean energy, transportation, and building policies at the state level is crucial to achieving the nation's emissions reduction goals.John, as our communities face devastating hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, we must choose progress.

Your support is our backbone, ensuring that we have reliable resources to drive our mission to build a sustainable future.

When you become a monthly sustainer today, every contribution you make will be matched until the end of 2025, doubling your gift and helping us make progress throughout the year.

This exclusive offer is a thank you from our loyal community of sustainers.

Yes, I want to be a monthly sustainer today < [link removed] >

Your support means more to us now than ever before. Thank you for being on the right side of history, for us, and for our children’s future. Thank you for giving us hope.

Onward, [Image alt text: Headshots 150x150 Lubber]
