This Earth Day, I'm proud to say science is back.
— President Joe Biden, April 22nd, 2021

Hi,

Yesterday, Earth Day was front and center to the global conversation. 

We spent the day as the #1 trending hashtag on Twitter and our Earth Day Live livestream reached millions around the world. Over the 7-hour event we heard from so many diverse voices and perspectives on ways to Restore Our Earth through universal climate literacy, natural solutions and technological innovations.

As President Biden tweeted: Science is back.

After the past year, we now all see clearly the links between human behavior and the twin crises of climate change and our health. We have to be ready to take immediate action. The kind of action that gets world leaders’ and corporate CEOs’ attention. For four years we have witnessed an unprecedented attack on our environmental laws both in the U.S. and around the world. President Biden’s global climate summit is a step in the right direction — but we are running out of time.

Environmental activism requires us to channel the energy of the movement into effective mobilization. Fifty-one years we ago we turned out 20 million people into the streets and forced our leaders to pass laws that protect the planet. We need that kind of action again.

We need activists, equity and inclusion. We need to fight the fossil fuel industry, and fight for the laws that protect biodiversity, clean air and our water. This is our planet, we all live on it and we are all responsible for saving it from our own destruction.

EARTHDAY‍.ORG is at the center of the fight for our home. We are the big tent that includes 1 billion people worldwide and we can't do this work without you.

Will you become an annual sustaining member?

For action,

Kathleen Rogers
President
