John -
Today, I am thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new Climate Solutions campaign.
But before I explain why I believe this groundbreaking campaign is key to engaging millions of supporters around the globe in the fight to stop the fossil fuel industry, I need to ask you for your support:
Here's the situation we are facing, John:
When a climate disaster happens, and people are suffering from unthinkable devastation, the first questions we get asked are "How can I help?" and "What can I do?"
As a global organization, we are in a strong position to provide the on-the-ground support and resources for communities to rebuild and for climate activists to continue the vital work they are doing.
But rebuilding is not enough. No. That is why we are launching a Climate Solutions Campaign that aims to build real resiliency for communities around the world.
If we are going to support local communities around the globe building climate resilience, it is going to take a LOT of resources. That's why I am asking you today:
As climate disasters worsen, as more and more people are displaced around the world, calling on the fossil fuel industry and the financial backers to stop funding the climate crisis will no longer be enough.
Our movement must continue to grow. Our focus must expand from holding politicians accountable to ensuring communities have the resources they need to weather the worst effects of the climate crisis and organize. At the same time.
It's a scary reality when you think about it. Climate activists organizing their communities with no electricity, water, or transportation. But the truth is that we need to be ready for things to get worse before they get better, John.
But here's why I am hopeful:
When we come together as a climate movement, we are unstoppable. So yes, this campaign is unlike anything we have ever done before. The logistics and resources will be unprecedented — but there is nothing more urgent at this moment for our movement. And we cannot do it alone:
Please make a $3.50 contribution to become a founding donor of our Climate Solutions Campaign.
Thank you again for all you do.
