John -
In just a moment, I am going to ask you to make your first $3.50 contribution so that we can continue organizing a global grassroots movement to take on the fossil fuel industry and fight for a Just Recovery.
But first let me explain why this request — especially today — is so important:
All over the world people are dealing with massive heat waves and climate disasters. And while climate-induced heat waves are causing wildfires, heat deaths, and creating a greater risk for the spread of disease, fossil fuel executives are making billions.
Right now, 350 is building the programs and campaigns capable of bringing people together around the globe to take on the fossil fuel industry and the politicians they bribe.
But we cannot do it alone. We're in this together.
We are aiming for a large number of donations today because each one will power the programs and campaigns we are building to fight for climate justice, a Green New Deal, and a Just Recovery.
That is why I am asking you directly:
During this unprecedented and dangerous moment in history, we must not lose sight of what we can accomplish when we come together:
We can create a system that puts people before profits.
We can create a system that makes public health a priority.
And we can create a system that simultaneously deals with the racial, economic, social, and environmental crises around the globe.
But if we are going to take on the fossil fuel industry, if we are going to build a global grassroots movement, we must confront these challenges together.
I understand that right now times are tough, and you may not be able to make a contribution. But if you are in a position to make a donation, please make the donation for yourself, or maybe make a small contribution for someone who wants to but can’t afford it today.
Anything you can do to help would mean a lot.
Thank you for your support.
In solidarity,
May Boeve
