Hi John,
We’re at a turning point in history. Each one of us will carry the impacts
of this pandemic into our post-lockdown future. But we’re not all affected
in the same way.
The pandemic has a lot in common with the climate crisis. It’s global in
scope. Marginalised people and communities are the most impacted -
low-wage and care workers, people of colour, migrants. And the coal, oil
and gas industry is still pushing politicians to put profit before people
– angling for bailouts.
At 350, we’re now working to get our governments to tackle the two crises
together. This bold idea of a just, green, resilient recovery starts with
people coming together, to stand for each other and for a better future.
We need to build back better.
We’re beginning this crucial, long-term effort in uncertain times. That’s
why today I’m asking you to help power our campaigns for a green, just,
fossil free recovery that leaves no one behind - by chipping in whatever
you can.

We know this might seem like a strange moment to ask for money. 350, like
the climate movement, is powered by people. Our promise is to keep
campaigning together for a fossil free world. But the future we’re now
just starting to imagine must be different from business as usual. The
climate crisis will not wait until we’ve sorted out the economic fallout
of the pandemic. We need to tackle them together.
At 350, since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been adapting
our plans and strategies to make sure our community intervenes wherever
it’s most needed.
We’ve been:
* Promoting solidarity and mutual aid initiatives, and encouraging our
supporters to connect with their communities and keep each other safe,
* Sharing our knowledge and skills through webinars and workshops on
working remotely, caring activism, and campaigning and organising
people online,
* Collaborating with diverse groups to launch a bold new campaign
demanding that the UK government Builds Back Better, puts people, our
NHS and workers ahead of polluters, and invests in a real, just, Green
New Deal,
* Exposing the many ways polluters are abusing this crisis by demanding
payouts from governments, while millions of people have lost their
jobs and livelihoods,
* Building a broad global coalition of groups and organisations for a
Just Recovery, to work together for a better future, where equality,
strong public services, clean renewable energy and climate protection
go hand in hand.
But that’s just a beginning. In the coming weeks and months we want to do
so much more. We will raise the pressure on the people who are currently
making decisions about our future: our governments, MPs, central bankers.
We’ll strengthen partnerships with groups across campaign issues and
borders - from nurses to parents to climate scientists - to build support
for a green just recovery from the ground up. We’ll work with journalists
and activists to expose and fight injustices in the UK, in Europe, and
beyond.
John, we have an ambitious and bold plan, and now we need you
to show your support. Please, make a donation today - to show you’re in
this with the rest of us, and to help sustain our community as we keep
raising our voices for a Green New Deal and a just recovery.
