Dear MoveOn member,
"A code red for humanity." That's what the United Nations is calling its
new, landmark environmental report—the most definitive scientific report
ever on the climate crisis.^1
The world's top climate scientists came together in the report to warn
that we're dangerously close to running out of time to stop the worst
effects of climate change—but the report shows that we still can protect
the future of our planet if we come together and take action right now.
To intensify the pressure on our leaders to take bold and immediate
action, MoveOn just printed a big batch of these "Save Earth Save Us"
stickers, and we are giving them away for FREE while supplies last.

John, the UN's watershed report says that the climate crisis is
dangerously close to spiraling out of control, with deadly heat waves,
gargantuan hurricanes, and massive wildfires expected to become more
severe and more frequent.^2
No person on Earth will be spared the catastrophic consequences of the
climate crisis if we don't act immediately to end our dependence on fossil
fuels. But the most devastating impacts will hit poorer countries, as well
as marginalized communities in the United States and other wealthy
nations.
Scientists say Madagascar—where 75% of people live on less than $1.90 per
day—is on the brink of experiencing the world's first "climate change
famine."^3 Tens of thousands of people in the country, who have done
almost nothing to contribute to the climate crisis, are already suffering
catastrophic levels of hunger and food insecurity after four years without
rain.^4
And in Tennessee, a record-breaking flood earlier this week took the lives
of 18 people and destroyed nearly 300 homes, most of them in a low-income
housing area.^5,6
Help ramp up the urgency to tackle the climate crisis by ordering your
free sticker today, displaying it prominently, and sharing this email with
your family and friends. Lives are on the line, and we're running out of
time to act.
