Friend,

We recently learned that July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded in human history.

Let that sink in.

Thirty years ago, scientists warned us about global warming -- and most lawmakers failed to see the urgency. Now, those decades of inaction are coming back to bite us. Hard.

But our planet is not a lost cause. It can't be. As the United Nations IPCC's report laid out just this month, exactly how much worse the climate crisis gets is largely up to us.

This is a decisive moment in the fight for our future. So today, I'm humbly asking: Will you make a donation to support me and the fight for climate action? We've got an end-of-month fundraising deadline coming up, and your support right now would mean the world.

Washington, D.C. may be dragging its feet on climate action, but Washington state is making strides: Just this year, we've passed a historic new Clean Fuel Standard and a cap-and-invest program, which will curtail our greenhouse gas emissions over the coming years.

That's exactly what the IPCC report tells us we need to do.

But there's more work ahead, and I hope you'll stick with me for it. Every dollar we raise now will fuel our work as we continue to raise the standard for bold climate action.

So what do you say? Will you chip in before our August 31 deadline to keep this movement going?

Thank you for supporting me -- and this fight for our future -- for as long as you have. It means so much.

Very truly yours,

Jay
