Dear John,

There are just hours left in 2020 and I want to make sure you saw my email from earlier today. 

We are only able to fight for climate solutions because of generous gifts from supporters like you. And today, your generosity will be doubled! 

We have a $10,000 gift match for TODAY only! Make your tax-deductible donation now to make climate a TOP priority in 2021. 

CCAN is YOUR climate group. And in 2021 we’re working on the solutions that science demands and that our youth are counting on. 

We’ve never needed your support more. Make a last minute year-end donation to CCAN now.

In Solidarity,

Mike Tidwell


Dear John,

The LAST DAY OF 2020! Can you believe it? 

I promise to keep this brief because I’m sure you’ve been flooded with emails asking you for an end-of-year donation. But I hope you read this email, because CCAN is fighting to prevent catastrophic floods — the non-metaphorical kind — from harming the community where you live. 

We’re 75% towards our goal of raising $90,000 this month and a generous donor pledged a $10,000 match for TODAY only! 

Help us trigger a $10,000 match as 2020 counts down. Make your tax deductible donation now. With your help, we’ll make climate solutions a TOP priority in 2021. 

Our strategy works: Local grassroots activism in our nation’s capital can put our entire country on a path to sustainability. The movement is stronger than ever, but stakes have never been higher. And at CCAN, we will continue to work tirelessly for climate solutions as we enter this new era. 

We are so thankful for the generous donor who is offering to double your gift today, and we hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity! 

The climate crisis will impact all of us. For more information on why you should give, check out the email I sent a couple weeks ago, forwarded below. I have a good feeling about 2021. I hope you do, too.

Happy New Year,

Mike Tidwell


Dear John,

End the year right. Make a gift to CCAN:

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
Executive Director
Chesapeake Climate Action Network & CCAN Action Fund
