John,
Yesterday as I walked through lower Manhattan with hundreds of thousands
of Climate Strikers, I was moved to tears by our collective beauty and
power.
Then I watched as photos and videos from across from Karachi to Kampala
streamed in as 4 million people walked out of their jobs, schools, and
homes in response to the call from youth organizers. The Global Climate
Strike is already the biggest distributed climate mobilization ever. And
we are just getting started.
We will be building on the momentum from the strikes to end the age of
fossil fuels - and we need your help. [ [link removed] ]Tomorrow evening, join our mass
call with MoveOn, Future Coalition, Our Children's Trust and other
movement partners at 8:30 ET and learn about next steps to stay involved.

We have been fighting alongside the student leaders and organizers of the
US Climate Strike to push the climate crisis into the center of the 2020
debate and propel the bold vision of the Green New Deal in Congress and
across the country.
[ [link removed] ]Then on October 3rd, join 350's National Organizing Call: We Are
Unstoppable, to get plugged into our campaigns and local organizing.
The Global Climate Strikes kicked off a week of action in which more than
5,800 events will take place in 163 countries across the world. Over 7,370
websites shut down and around 3,000 companies closed their doors in
support of people striking. There are still more actions to come -
[ [link removed] ]check out our map to see if there's one happening near you.
We have already shown that we are prepared to take action. Now our
governments need to follow through to act at the source of the flames that
are engulfing our planet: fossil fuels. And they must prove their
intentions in concrete terms: What are their plans for phase out coal,
oil, and gas production? When are their deadlines and how will they fund
the transition so it's fair for everyone?
There is no more time to lose. We must start implementing the changes we
need to tackle the climate crisis and create a better world. This will be
the most challenging time of our lives but the strikes yesterday give us
hope for not just survival, but the opportunity to thrive.
We’ve seen the power of a multiracial, multi-generational movement taking
action and we want to keep organizing for the long haul with you. [ [link removed] ]Make
sure you join our mass call tomorrow at 8:30 PM ET.
Until we win,
May
