Hi,

As we reflect on the past year, I want to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation for your support of EARTHDAY‍.ORG’s™ work. It has been a critical year in progressing the environmental movement and continuing to protect the planet and its people. I am so thankful for what we have been able to achieve together.

Throughout it all, we remain devoted to our mission to diversify, educate, and activate the environmental movement.

We are now on the other side of this month's COP26 UN Climate Conference where we helped organize global youth activists to speak out on climate literacy, gave African civil society and government leaders a platform to share their climate perspectives, emphasized the importance of citizen science on a global scale, presented the need for climate restoration through technology-based solutions, and more. To read about the outcomes of our time in Scotland, click here for the full report.

It is also important to recognize the critical environmental work done year-round through our global programs and acknowledge each success, no matter the size, as these are what create true change. In 2021, with your support, so much was accomplished, including: expanding our Volunteer Corps to over 15,000 volunteers in 168 countries worldwide, engaging 12 million people in active cleanups throughout the world on World Cleanup Day, and successfully conducting another year of virtual Earth Day Live events, such as our collaborative Three Days of Climate Action Summits that discussed the most critical topics in our fight against climate change.

None of this would have been possible without you, and I am so grateful for your support. As we look to the next steps in our fight for climate action, environmental justice, and ecosystem restoration, we hope that you will continue to stand with us. Thank you for working with us to build a more just and sustainable future for our planet.

I look forward to what we will achieve together.

In gratitude,

Kathleen Rogers
President
