All over the country, crackdowns on civil liberties are on the rise, John.
Protesters are being arrested and deported, the press is under attack, and our basic rights are being threatened.
Here at 350.org, we aren't going to let any government or politician stop us from taking to the streets and fighting for our planet.
So before I share how 350.org is gearing up to safeguard our climate activists and our movement for our global Draw the Line protests in September — please consider using this link to make a donation and ensure we have the resources to protect each activist taking to the streets:

Our global days of action to Draw the Line in September are going to be a time when all eyes are on us — from corrupt governments to shady fossil fuel companies and greedy billionaires.
That means it's more important than ever that we not only stand as one in solidarity, but that we do everything we can to help ensure each other's safety.
Let me be clear: we will not back down to intimidation. Time and time again, activists and protesters — people like you and me — go out in the streets to stand up for what's right, to amplify the voices of marginalized people and frontline communities around the world. And in September, we'll do it again.
We need as many people as possible to show up for these events and actions. But in return, we have to be able to keep them safe.
We're taking safety and security measures at every mass protest we're organizing for Draw the Line. We want to make sure everyone can safely attend — that's the only way we'll get the numbers we need. But increasing our safety measures also mean that the costs are racking up — quickly.
That is why we are asking you to make a $10 contribution today to help put enough security and medics on the ground at events around the world to ensure the safety of all attendees:
They're trying to take away our rights and our power. But we won't let them. We will show up united in September, we will have each other's backs, and we won't back down.
In solidarity,
Olivia Langhoff
