John -

Here at 350, we are quickly approaching the end of our fiscal year. The fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30, and all our campaigns, mobilizations, and budgets operate around it.

At this critical point in the fight for a livable climate, we've set our campaign goals high for the upcoming year.

But when I ran the numbers this morning, I noticed that we are $52,018 short of where we need to be in order to continue ramping up our campaigns to beat the fossil fuel industry. If I'm being entirely honest, that worries me.

When I start feeling worried about our ability to prevent the worst effects of the climate crisis, I remind myself that I'm not alone. I'm part of an incredibly powerful, global movement for climate justice. I remind myself that you, John, care about winning this fight just as much as I do. And that's why I decided to reach out to you today:

We need to raise $52,018 before September 30 to meet our fiscal year goal. Can you chip in $3.50 to help close the gap so we can grow our grassroots movement to match the scale of the climate crisis?

I wouldn't ask you to make your first contribution if it wasn't so important, John. But as a people-powered movement that's up against the entire force of the fossil fuel industry, our work depends on small-dollar donations from people like you.

If you help us reach our goal of raising $52,018 before the deadline on September 30, here's just some of the work your contribution will support:

• #FossilFreeFed: We're scaling up our most ambitious finance campaign yet, calling on the United States Federal Reserve to account for climate risk and end fossil fuel finance.
• COP26: We'll leverage the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow to build up massive, additional pressure on leaders and banks around the world to divest from fossil fuels and invest in a Just Transition.
• And beyond: We'll take the momentum provided by COP26 and the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports onwards to organize, mobilize and build support for climate justice through 2022.

Together, we can literally save the world. Are you ready?

Chip in $3.50 now to fuel all our work towards a cleaner and more just future.

Thank you for everything you do. It means so much to have you in this fight alongside us.

In solidarity,
