Friends of LittleSis,

While billionaires are fantasizing about colonizing space, we know that real life is here on earth and is worth fighting for. Billionaires and the corporate class have imperiled and nearly abandoned the future of humanity through their aggressive reliance on fossil fuels and extractive industries. But communities are fighting back. 

This year we were proud to support a number of groups fiercely facing off against the worst polluters and fossil fuel enablers: 

• We provided power research and trainings to campaigners challenging Wells Fargo, Chubb and Vanguard, some of the world’s largest financiers of fossil fuels. 
• We worked with activists in the Gulf South fighting to stop the build out of dangerous methane gas pipelines and terminals. 
• We coached volunteer researchers on the West Coast who are building a campaign to pass legislation to Make Polluters Pay. 
• We demystified the power convergence happening at CERAWeek, the massive annual energy conference in Houston of corporate titans of the fossil fuel industry and heads of states. 

We do this because we believe in the collective capacity of ordinary people to imagine and secure a livable future that includes all of us. And we need all of us to refuse the billionaire-backed march towards a world with more weapons manufacturing, oil and gas, and Big Tech - all of which disproportionately endangers Black and brown neighborhoods, Indigenous communities, and ultimately, each and every one of us. 

Together we can create new futures. Even $5 or $10 can help us keep providing critical research and training support to campaigns for climate justice. 

Onwards, 

Lauren
