Dear John,

With Giving Tuesday just one week away, will you support our work to champion solutions to the plastic pollution crisis?

Recently our movement came together for two groundbreaking events focused on SOLUTIONS: our first-ever Plastic Pollution Solutions Expo and TEDxGreatPacificGarbagePatch. The events featured innovative businesses and inspiring talks from artists, scientists, creators, advocates, and more. We livestreamed the TEDx, and recordings will be shared in the coming weeks.

As inspiring as these events are, we are in the midst of historically difficult times in the world. Plastic Pollution Coalition, like most non-profits, is facing funding challenges. If we're going to survive this turbulent moment and achieve our long-term goal of protecting human and environmental health, we need your help. Your support will enable us to continue to:

• Share solutions to the plastic pollution crisis,
• Hold corporate polluters accountable,
• Empower the next generation of activists and leaders, and 
• So much more!

Thank you for standing with us as we tell the truth about plastic and its toxic impacts on our bodies, our communities, and our planet.

Onward together,

Julia Cohen, MPH
Co-Founder & Managing Director
