Dear John,
So there was this country, the United States, and by 2020 people said we were finished. They said we could never come together again in a bi-partisan way, to achieve something BIG, when the stakes were really high. Honestly, I was one of those people some days, looking out my home-office window during a depressing pandemic. But here’s what gives me hope this holiday season: We did it anyway. This fall, in every precinct in America, Democrats and Republicans came together to conduct and certify the largest, most orderly, most high-stakes election in our history. And soon we will have a new president and big, new climate policies. At CCAN, we fight for clean energy for Maryland, Virginia, DC, and across the country. Will you help us hit our goal of raising $90,000 this month so we can make climate a top priority in 2021? On day one, Joe Biden will rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement. He will start rebuilding the US EPA and use executive orders to stop drilling on federal lands. But he won’t be able to solve the climate crisis alone. This is where CCAN, DC, and YOU come into play. Here’s what we’ll do in 2021 with your support: On Capitol Hill we’ll work with the White House to insist on the strongest possible executive actions to slash greenhouse gases. And in DC we’ll make sure the local government stays on course for 100% clean electricity by 2032.
If you’re like me, you approach the holidays wanting to give more than you receive. I am a lucky man. My family is healthy, I have a job I love, and there is food in the cupboard. If you are similarly fortunate, and have that shared sense of wanting to solve our great climate crisis, please give generously to CCAN. Every little bit helps. When you make a donation of $500, $100, $50 or $5, you're making it possible for us to continue this work. Our nation just proved we can do big things, together, when the stakes are high. Donate to CCAN today and let’s get started on this new chapter of American history. Sincerely,
Mike Tidwell P.S. Did you know that some employers will match your personal donation to CCAN?
