But the chaos in Washington shows why local leaders matter more than ever.

John, I know your time is precious, but I need just two minutes for something that can't wait.

My team set a $18,000 mid-August fundraising goal, and we have until Friday to reach it — or risk losing ground against Big Oil’s billions when our communities and our planet need us most. Can you join me by chipping in a few dollars right now to help us get there?

Jane: I would be tremendously grateful for anything you can chip in

I hate to be so direct, but the news out of Washington makes it painfully clear why our work matters more than ever.

We're watching Trump embrace full-blown authoritarianism in real time.

He deployed 800 National Guard troops to D.C. and ordered a federal takeover of the city's police without asking permission from anyone.

He's actively working with Republicans in Texas and around the country to rig electoral maps and solidify his party's grip on power in 2026.

And his constant attacks on climate science — from eliminating research programs to firing scientists and planning to dismantle life-saving agencies like FEMA — prove that Trump and his MAGA bandwagon have chosen campaign donations from fossil fuel corporations over the American people.

I know this news is discouraging, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of protesting, it’s that the toughest moments are when we are needed the most. We must push back with everything we have and elect climate champions in places Big Oil thinks we’re not watching — from city halls and school boards to statehouses and beyond.

So I'll ask again because your support makes a tangible difference here, John, and I know you understand the stakes: Will you chip in a few dollars before Friday to help us reach our $18,000 fundraising goal?

Onward,
