Friend --

Historic, unprecedented, dramatic.

Those are just three of the words scientists have used to describe the rapid melting of the polar ice caps, accelerated this past week by temperatures soaring 40 degrees above normal.

This is an inflection point for our movement. Before our end-of-month fundraising deadline at midnight tonight -- the first since our fundraising freeze -- we must stand together and pull our climate system back from the brink.

This will be my last email to you ahead of this deadline. I'm humbly asking: Will you please chip in $10 right now and stand with me in this fight?

With your help, our movement is going to take the progress we've made here in Washington and bring it to the national -- and global -- stage.

Together, we will work to avoid an all-out climate disaster.

Before midnight, let's show just how powerful our movement is. Chip in $10 right now.

Very truly yours,

Jay
