Hey John,
This email was hard to write. This afternoon, the Trump administration took what experts say is their most destructive environmental move to date, gutting regulations on power plants that keep people healthy and slow climate change. Then, he announced his intent to completely end FEMA.
I feel sick thinking about the people who will lose everything when a flood or fire destroys their home, how many kids will grow up with developmental disorders because of mercury poisoning, how many climate refugees will be forced to flee their homelands.
I’m outraged, and I’m feeling agitated about how much work we have to do.
Now, I could ask you to rush a petition signature, but let’s be real: Trump doesn’t care about petitions. He cares about pleasing his billionaire donors and his most hardcore supporters.
Instead, I’m asking you to join me and organize. To end the oligarchy backing Trump, we must build a movement of people capable of disrupting business as usual. That’s how we make this cost Trump and his billionaire donors. On June 18th, join our campaign launch to hear exactly how we're going to do that, and how you can get involved.
Our new campaign is taking the fight to Trump’s favorite donors — Big Oil billionaires. We’ll make them into public villains, take away their political power, and make them pay for the rising costs of climate change.
We’ve seen with Elon Musk that going after Trump’s donors is effective. Protests made Elon into public enemy #1, Tesla’s sales plummeted, and Elon Musk lost billions of dollars. Then, Musk left the Trump administration and had a meltdown on the internet.
We need to do the same with Big Oil. It won’t be easy. It's going to take millions of us, but it’s what’s necessary: both to stop authoritarianism and prevent climate change from destroying life on this planet as we know it.
If you’re ready to make that happen, tune into our Virtual Campaign Launch next Wednesday. I’ll be joining movement leaders from around the country to lay out the full plan, and how you can get involved.
In solidarity,
Aru
