Dear MoveOn member,
Last week, the United Nations released its latest comprehensive report on
the climate crisis, and there's no sugar-coating the results.^1 In the
words of the U.N. secretary general, unless things change fast, we are
"firmly on track toward an unlivable world."^2
The temperature in Antarctica just hit 70 degrees above normal.^3,4
Hydropower dams are shutting down because there simply isn't any water
left due to drought.^5 And record-breaking wildfires have erupted in
Siberia.^6
The good news is that there's still time to prevent the worst, and
President Biden has proposed exactly the kind of historic clean-energy
investments we need to get on track.
But, John, we have absolutely zero chance of passing real
climate legislation if Republicans win back control of Congress, and if we
waste any more time, it could be game over for the planet.
Humanity's survival is on the ballot this November. Will you chip
in $5 a month to help stop the Republican climate deniers
from taking control of Congress and destroying our last chance to prevent
catastrophic global warming?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
If you're not freaking out about the climate crisis, consider this:
Massive ice shelves in the Antarctic are melting before our eyes.^7 Entire
towns are being destroyed by wildfire.^8 Last summer's heat wave in Europe
killed thousands.^9
And Republicans want to pour gasoline on the fire. They're not only
opposing climate action, they're pushing for increases in fossil fuel
production by opening millions of acres of public lands to drilling and
weakening the environmental protections we have now.^10 It's madness.
But the most most important news from the U.N.'s latest climate report is
that there's still reason for hope.
In fact, even as the rest of the economy struggled through the pandemic,
renewable energy sources like solar and wind continued to grow at the
stunning annual rate of almost 10%.^11 Meanwhile, President Biden has
proposed historic clean-energy investments to make the transition even
faster, and we're so close to passing the legislation we need to get it
done.
The truth is that the biggest threat to the climate might just be the
Republican Party. If we're going to have any chance of preventing the
worst effects of global warming, we cannot let the Republican climate
deniers and Big Oil puppets take control of Congress.
MoveOn is currently developing a cutting-edge campaign strategy to
increase voter turnout and stop Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, and the
anti-science Trump Republicans from seizing control and burning the
planet.
Together, we can stop the GOP and save the planet. But we must act now.
Will you start a $5 monthly donation today?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly to help stop the GOP climate deniers from
taking control of Congress.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do.

Want to support MoveOn's work? Donald Trump's preparations for being able
to steal the presidency in 2024 are well underway and include working to
replace top election officials in battleground states with his own
loyalists. Which is why MoveOn is doing something we've never done in our
23-year history: We're launching a powerful, multimillion-dollar effort to
defeat Trump-backed secretaries of state across the country and elect
individuals who will count every vote and ensure fair elections.
Will you chip in monthly to power our campaign to defeat Trump and protect
our elections in 2022?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in $5 a month.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
