Hi John,
$2,765. That’s how much we need to raise before midnight tomorrow. Can you help with a quick $11 donation now to help me win? Thank you!
It hit 104° in Tacoma yesterday. Roads buckled. Temperature records shattered.
And each summer, it’s only going to get worse. This is “only” 1° C (1.8° F) of warming. Imagine what it’ll be like at 2° C or 3° C.
Who do you want in Congress fighting the climate catastrophe: me or someone who takes money from Chevron and Marathon Petroleum?
My opponent Derek Kilmer has taken money from Chevron, the company that has spent over $2 billion pursuing climate lawyer Steven Donziger, resulting in him being on house arrest for 600+ days now. All because Donziger won a $9.5 billion judgment against them for contaminating the environment in Ecuador.
While Trump was president and youth climate activists were fighting for their future on this planet, Kilmer was taking money from Big Oil and making nice with Republicans.
Saying that science is real and the Paris Climate Agreement is good doesn’t cut it anymore — it never did.
The ultimate cause of this crisis is a profit-driven energy sector that extracts commodities no matter the environmental cost: the almighty dollar is all that matters.
We need to make a mad dash to 100% renewable energy and put a ban on all fossil fuel extraction, pipelines, and refining.
I can fight for those policies because I refuse all corporate money, including donations from Big Oil. In Congress I’ll be beholden to the people who live on this Earth, not the companies who destroy it.
But to get there, I need to raise enough money to power a winning campaign, and I’m still $2,765 away from this quarter’s goal. The deadline is tomorrow at midnight. Can you chip in now to help?
