Dear John,

This year has tested us. The challenges have been unrelenting. But as 2025 draws to a close, we're reminded of something powerful: when we stand together, young people's voices become unstoppable.

We made history this year. Over 180 youth plaintiffs across 15 states and 4 countries testified in courtrooms, won landmark victories, and created meaningful change for 2 billion children worldwide. We witnessed the first federal evidentiary hearing in a youth constitutional climate case. Judges increasingly recognized that governments have a duty to protect future generations and that youth have constitutional rights to a livable climate.

Young people carry disproportionate burdens from the climate crisis, but they also carry something irreplaceable: moral clarity and hope. Thanks to your support, their voices now echo in the mountains, in the streets, and in the halls of justice—serving as democracy's heartbeat.

Today, we're honored to share our 2025 Impact Report ([link removed]) . Inside, you'll find the cases reshaping climate law, the programs empowering young advocates, and the partnerships turning courage into courtroom progress.

True change doesn't happen overnight, and it never happens in isolation. It happens when we work across state lines, across generations, and across all our differences. It happens when people like you refuse to give up.

Thank you for everything you made possible in 2025. Your support didn't just fund lawsuits—it amplified voices, restored hope, and proved that youth rights matter.

Wishing you and your loved ones peace and joy this holiday season.

With fierce determination and deep gratitude,

Mat dos Santos
