First, the good news:

Right now we have more donations in December than we did by this point in November. That's amazing — and it's all because lots and lots of people are chipping in to defeat the fossil fuel industry.

Now, some bad news:

Our average donation this month has dipped to around $20, and we're a bit behind where we need to be to reach our $850,000 End of Year fundraising goal.

We are incredibly proud that our movement is funded by everyday people around the globe chipping in what they can, when they can. But the truth is that the lower average means we need even more donations to keep pace.

Since you haven't made an online donation yet, we are hoping you can make your first one today. It'd mean a lot to us, especially during this critical month for our organization.

Can you contribute $3.50 today? Your donation will help us catch up on our End of Year fundraising goal while putting us in a position to defeat the fossil fuel industry.

John, we are funded in large part by grassroots donations. That's important. Because that is how we will build the global movement we need to ensure a healthy and habitable planet.

Thank you for chipping in today to make that possible.

In solidarity,

- Team 350

CONTRIBUTE $3.50

P.S. We know that these are challenging times and not all of us are able to donate right now. You can still provide vital support by encouraging friends and family to join the climate movement and continue taking action with 350.org. We're all in this together.
