Dear Friend, This time of year, when your inbox is filling up with requests, it's hard to decide which organizations to support. That's why I'd like to share the "mission magic" behind Green America. And an offer to MATCH your first-time donation. Plus, we’ll thank you for joining with a bar of organic chocolate and pair of organic Snuggle socks with your donation of $25 or more! You see, most national non-profits, including the BIG ones, move their agenda forward using lobbyists, lawyers, and legislation. Green America doesn't work like other non-profits. We don't focus on laws and regulation to move America forward. Green America focuses on amplifying the demand to major corporations to take action for a vibrant, healthy, green economy—one that works for everyone. Okay, it's not really magic… it just makes a lot of sense. Because no matter who has the majority in Washington… you can use your power as a consumer and investor as a power for good! And WOW does our collective action work! We're getting corporate America to radically change the way it does business—rapid adoption of clean energy, reinventing the way food is grown, and protecting workers worldwide. Our economic action has made extraordinary progress in 2020! - Big news for the climate! We successfully pushed Amazon, AT&T, and Verizon to make some of the largest corporate purchases of renewable energy in the US.
- We’re helping food giant Danone go 100% regenerative in North America.
- We pressured JP Morgan Chase, the world’s largest funder of fossil fuels, to stop financing dirty energy, new coal, and Arctic drilling.
- We helped CVS save a world of paper! Equal to 27,000 miles—the length of the equator—and they’ve stopped using receipts coated in Bisphenol S (BPS).
As a Green American, you can be proud that you are a part of this powerful work. In honor of our hard work ahead, a group of generous donors have offered a matching gift fund—dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000—through December 31st. Together, you and I will build on our 2020 victories and we will achieve our biggest impact ever in 2021: #1 We’re reversing the climate crisis by ending fossil fuels, advancing renewables, and drawing carbon back down into the soil. Over 100,000 people have taken our “Cool It!” action against Walmart to curb HFCs—greenhouse gases up to 9,000 times more potent than CO2. In 2021, we’ll push Walmart to act quickly on its climate-harming refrigeration. #2 Together, you and I are accelerating economic justice by protecting workers in the most dangerous supply chains around the world. In 2021, we’ll keep the pressure on Amazon to address its massive carbon emissions, while protecting workers in its warehouses and factories. #3 Together, we’re creating system change—supporting frontline workers and communities most affected by the pandemic, racism, and the climate crisis. We’re working with the largest tech companies—including Apple, Dell, and HP—to remove the most toxic chemicals from supplier factories. In 2021, we’ll launch a safer chemicals commitment program to protect millions of workers. Today—right now—we are asking you to make your first-ever donation to Green America. When you join, your gift with be DOUBLED, and for all donations of $25 or more, we'll send you a chocolate covered thank you. Together, we are a powerful force for good, |
