John, I am writing to you for my daughters, Ramona and Gloria.

I am writing to you for the young people who are leading our movement
forward, demanding justice, and refusing to back down to the false logic
of greed and power that fuel the fossil fuel industry.

One day, out of nowhere, as if she’d been quietly thinking about it for a
long time, my youngest daughter Gloria asked me, “can you die from climate
change?” Even though I believe in science and I believe in the terrible
destruction of greed and unchecked capitalism, it was right then that I
realized, I wasn’t letting it in. Not really. It would hurt for a minute,
it would terrify me for a second, and then I would push it away.

Every time I pushed it away, I was throwing my children under the bus
instead of standing for them in front of the moving train.

[ [link removed] ]There’s no time to waste. Join me and support 350.org right now!

On Friday, my family was part of the Global Climate Strike in New York
City. It was both the most inspiring and heartbreaking moment to witness.
I was surrounded by young people who, much like the young activists living
in my house, are facing the climate crisis head-on and demanding justice.
It’s more than I have ever imagined doing at their age. It’s the next
generation, the next wave, pushing us forward.

I’m so proud to stand in solidarity with these brave and serious kids, to
back them up and help create the world they are demanding into existence.
My generation had the privilege of putting this existential threat out of
our minds once it became too scary to think about — these kids don’t. They
can’t just turn off the news and hope it will all be okay, so instead,
they’re fighting. They’re fighting for us in a way we should always have
been fighting for them.

Will you stand in front of the moving train with me and continue this
fight by supporting 350.org right now? [ [link removed] ]Yes, count me in!

This is an organization that has been pushing global action forward for
ten whole years, building people power all over the world to take on the
fossil fuel industry and build a just and equitable world for absolutely
everyone. I couldn’t be prouder of their commitment to this work.

Will you join me in supporting this incredible movement right now? There
really is no more time to waste. [ [link removed] ]Anything you can give today will go
directly to keeping the momentum of the strikes strong. Can I count on
you?

In solidarity and with thanks,
Maggie Gyllenhaal
