John,
From the heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, to the Texas Freeze, to Hurricane Ida in the Gulf Coast, 2021 was one of the most active and costly years for climate disasters in the United States.1
In an era of increasing climate disasters, we must work together to respond to these extreme weather events – first by supporting a just recovery and community aid, and second, by demanding accountability from politicians and the fossil fuel companies who are responsible.
That’s why we’re starting 2022 by launching a new rapid response climate solutions team. As part of the team, we’ll send you immediate actions you can take in the event of a climate disaster to both support those directly impacted and demand action to prevent future events.
As climate disasters worsen, we need to be prepared to implement climate solutions. By joining our rapid response climate solutions team, you can support communities in need while also helping our movement turn these events into inflection points.
When climate events are in the news, we can highlight the science, hold fossil fuel CEOs accountable for the damage they’ve caused, and demand that our politicians act to protect our communities in the future.
If 2021 was a year of climate crisis, we're going to make 2022 a year of climate justice. Thank you for joining us as part of our climate solutions team.
In solidarity,
Team 350
