Dear Friend, It’s horrifying to watch a war be waged on the innocent people of Ukraine. And it makes me sick to think that once again the money and leverage used to start this war is directly tied to fossil fuels. Because Putin would not have the authority, or the money, needed to wage war, without revenues from oil and gas sales. In 2021, the U.S. imported nearly 700,000 barrels of oil a DAY from Russia – those imports are helping to pay for Putin’s war machine. As long as America and the world are addicted to fossil fuels, we will continue to empower dictators like Putin who use oil and gas money to fund their wars. That is why Green America is calling for the rapid roll out of clean, green energy. We must quit our reliance on dirty energy if we want to take back power from autocrats like Putin and reverse the climate crisis. Today—right now—you have the chance to do something huge for the world. On behalf of our beautiful planet and all its people, please make a gift to Green America. And when you do your gift will be TRIPLED through our matching git campaign. We have no time to lose. That’s why we are getting giant corporations to take action on climate and justice at the speed and scale we need to address the climate crisis and build wealth in the communities most impacted by fossil fuels. We will put your donation to work immediately, here’s how: - Our “Hang up on Fossil Fuels” campaign got Verizon and AT&T to 25% renewables. Now we need to push them to 100% wind and solar that benefits workers and local communities!
- Our “Build a Cleaner Cloud” campaign got Amazon to commit to 100% renewables. Now we need to pressure Amazon to protect their workers and ensure their clean energy commitments benefit Black, Indigenous, and Latino workers and communities.
- We’ll keep the pressure on Walmart to remove HFCs from its refrigerants and reduce its huge impact on our warming planet. HFCs are 9,000 times more potent than CO2!
Never have I felt more confident in our ability to shift the economy from greed to green. And never have I felt more urgent about the work that must be done to save our planet and all of its people. Now, I’m turning to you. Please give your largest gift ever—and have it TRIPLED through our matching fund Together we are powerful, |
