Dear John,
From record-setting temperatures in Texas to power outages in New York and
heat-related deaths^1 from Maryland to Arizona — the last week has given
us all a brief taste of the danger and deadliness that the climate crisis
is bringing.
My weekend was punctuated by calls with family over how to help an elderly
aunt without AC who was at risk of a stroke in the heat. In Baltimore,
where I was, the “real-feel” hit 115 degrees while in her Midwestern city
she dealt with power surges and a medical system struggling to care for
its residents.
With the direction we’re heading in, it’s clear we need to build an army
of activists and volunteers that can demand our leaders support a Green
New Deal. [ [link removed] ]Can you donate to help 350.org put an end to the fossil fuel
industry’s toxic influence?
We have bold plans to organize communities across the country for a Green
New Deal, keep fossil fuels in the ground, and hold fossil fuel executives
accountable for their climate deception. And we’ve shown we can and will
win with a truly diverse grassroots movement.
The Green New Deal has changed the debate on climate and given hope to a
new generation of climate activists. From deadly flooding in the midwest
to dangerous heatwaves around the world, we can’t allow this to be our new
normal. Simply put, we need a Green New Deal.
[ [link removed] ]Can you donate to help us mobilize around the country for a Green New
Deal?
We’re hiring new organizers in crucial areas around the country to
educate, train, and build the climate movement we need. If we’re going to
pass a Green New Deal, we know that thousands need to be part of this
fight and no one can be left behind. With the help of supporters like you,
we’ll focus on developing new leaders and finding new ways of organizing
to create lasting change.
[ [link removed] ]Please make a gift to help us grow our movement and organize for a
Green New Deal.
With your help, we can make this a turning point for the country and the
climate. I hope you’ll join me in supporting our work here at 350.org to
demand a liveable climate and climate justice.
Thank you,
John Qua
Senior Organizer
