Hi John,
Today, the temperatures in the UK are hitting a record-breaking 39
degrees. It has literally never been this hot before. The climate crisis
is making headlines again.
When it’s this hot, doing anything can feel like too much. But I’m going
to ask you to do something. I will ask you to watch a video, and hear the
message Greta Thunberg has for you and for every adult across the world,
concerned about this burning-hot planet.
John, can you take 2 minutes to watch and share this video of
Greta Thunberg calling for a Global Climate Strike?

Greta’s one-person school strike has sparked a movement of millions. Now,
it’s time we, adults, left the sidelines and joined the fight led by the
striking schoolkids.
Starting on 20 September and culminating a week later, the world is going
on strike. We’re striking from work, walking out of offices, classrooms
and shops (and in my case, my heatwave-proof basement!). Some of us will
take the full day off work, some will join an event on their lunch break
or simply post a selfie in support of the strike. We’ll show the
politicians and the super rich that we no longer support business as
usual, which has brought our climate to the brink of collapse.
John, this September history will be made. [ [link removed] ]Right now, all
I’m asking of you is to pledge that you will support the Global Climate
Strike in whatever way is possible for you - that’s all.
After you sign up, over the next weeks you will get all the information
you need to join a climate strike closest to your home, or guidance and
support on how to be a good ally and how to organise your own walkout.
I’m excited about what comes next. Can I count you in?
Onwards,
Ellen, for the 350.org team
PS. To get millions of people on the streets, first we need to reach them
with this call to action. You have an important role to play, so please:
[ [link removed] ]help build this moment and make sure you share the video with Greta’s
message. You have more power than you know to influence your friends and
colleagues - please use it to invite them to join the strikes!
