The start to 2025 has been hard, John.
From the LA wildfires to Donald Trump resuming his role as president of the United States, the future of the planet feels more uncertain than ever.
But amidst so much bad news, there are glimmers of hope. Here at 350, we just introduced our new Executive Director: Anne Jellema.
And she wants to hear YOUR priorities for 2025:
Thanks so much for taking a moment to sound off on your priorities for 2025.
- Team 350
It's so lovely to meet you, John!
I'm writing this email from my home office in Cape Town, South Africa, where I am thrilled to be taking on the new role as Executive Director of 350.
First, I want to say thank you for all you've done and continue to do for our climate movement. As a supporter of 350, you are helping to tackle the climate crisis head on. Thank you, John.
Before I share any more about my own background within the climate movement and my hopes for 350, I want to get to know you a bit more, John, and understand your priorities for 2025 and beyond:
I first got involved in climate action out of love for my three children. I want them, and generations after them, to inherit a safe and thriving planet. I want them to be able to enjoy and cherish the same special places in nature that mean so much to me. I want them to live free from constant fear of fires, floods, heatwaves, and hurricanes.
But we are running out of time. Whether here in Africa or in the US and Europe, many communities are already being decimated by climate impacts. That’s why I joined 350 — because it is laser-focused on urgent practical solutions to the climate crisis.
I am truly honored to embark on this new journey with 350 alongside you, John — and thousands of supporters around the globe.
That's why before any more time goes by, I want to hear directly from YOU about your priorities for the climate movement:
So please, take this two-minute survey, and let's shape the next chapter of 350 together.
Thank you again for taking the time to fill out this quick survey, I'm looking forward to reading your responses soon.
In solidarity,
Anne Jellema
