John,
The newest report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released yesterday, and the science is clear: Fossil fuels are to blame for the climate crisis, and our government’s continued support of them is killing us.
We must transition from oil and gas to clean energy and center climate justice — our survival literally depends on what we do next.
John, we know who is responsible for this crisis, and we know what we can do to stop it. But it’s going to take all of us to fight for a Green New Deal and a transition away from fossil fuels. Can you donate $10 to help Sunrise in the fight for the future we deserve?
This new IPCC report, and the lobbying by fossil fuels and petrostates to weaken its findings, are a stark reminder of why we must end our dependence on fossil fuels and begin a just transition to a renewable energy economy — one that supports workers over corporations, democracy, and the futures of our communities. We need a Green New Deal now.
We are at a crossroads right now. While working families face fossil fuel price gouging at the gas pump, do we continue to rely on fossil fuel corporations and petrostates, or do we begin a mass mobilization of our government and society to transition to a renewable energy future?
In solidarity,
Varshini, Sunrise
