[ [link removed] ]350 Giving Day banner. Deadline tonight. Starburst reads 'Gifts Triple
Matched!' Background: climate protesters marching with a megaphone.
John,
On July 4th — while millions of Americans celebrated — more than 180
million people were under "major" or "extreme" heat risk,^1 and in 27
states, investor-owned utility companies had the legal right to shut off
your power over an unpaid bill.^2
Losing power in that heat isn't an inconvenience. It can be a death
sentence.
This isn't an accident. The grid is overloaded. Bills keep climbing. We
are living through another summer in the hottest decade ever recorded,^3
driven by the same fossil fuels that make every heatwave more dangerous.
Families are stuck paying more and more for an old, broken grid, while
being blocked from cheaper renewable energy that could fix both problems.
And now the data center boom, often approved by the same regulators who
won't act, is making it all worse and building even more fossil fuel
infrastructure.
That's why 350.org is campaigning to ban utility shutoffs during extreme
heat and to repower our lives with renewable energy. Real independence
means clean, affordable energy for everyone, not just those who can afford
to keep the lights on.
It's only with your support that our campaigning can grow louder and
stronger.
[ [link removed] ]Today is Giving Day, John. And tonight at midnight, our
triple match expires. Will you give now and triple your impact?

$100,000 triple-match goal
[ [link removed] ]TRIPLE YOUR GIFT BEFORE MIDNIGHT
Every dollar you give right now is worth three. Our board members and
generous supporters are triple matching every gift until we raise
$100,000. And tonight, that match runs out.
The six biggest oil companies are on track to make nearly $3,000 in profit
every single second this year.^4 They didn't earn that. They extracted it
from a broken system — from communities now rationing energy in dangerous
heat, or facing the next extreme storm, from all of us.
The Great Power Shift is how we fight back. Tax those profits. Move public
money out of fossil fuels and into renewables. Make clean, affordable
energy a right. And protect the most vulnerable from the extreme heat
their pollution is causing.
We are so close to our goal... But we need you before midnight tonight.
This is the last email we'll send you about Giving Day. We won't ask
again. But if you've been waiting for the right moment, this is it.
[ [link removed] ]Make your first gift today while it still counts for triple — before
midnight tonight.

The heatwaves will keep coming until we end this. Tonight, you can make
your stand count three times over.
In solidarity,
Candice Fortin
Energy Affordability Campaign Manager, 350.org
P.S. After midnight, the match is gone. Don't let Big Oil win this one by
default! [ [link removed] ]Give now and triple your impact for The Great Power Shift.
