Dear John,

This year, the idea of climate justice made it into the national discourse
for one of the first times in herstory!

As a translocal alliance of seventy (largely frontline) members–some of
whom literally coined the term climate justice–it is our responsibility
to make sure that this national discourse is accurate and focused where and
when it matters most.

WILL YOU JOIN US IN UPLIFTING OUR FRONTLINE WORK BY BECOMING A SUSTAINING
DONOR [1]?

One of the spaces in which we’ve been doing this throughout 2019 has been
around a GREEN NEW DEAL (GND) [2]. We have amplified our members’ voices
to ensure that a GND leads to a regenerative economy through a Just
Transition. For this to happen, we understand that _solutions must center
frontline communities hit first and worst by the intersecting crises of
climate change, economic inequality, and rising neo-facism_ That’s why we
launched our GND working group, which has already strengthened our demands
for a people’s solutions lens for a GND, supported a series of townhalls
across the country, while also disrupting the mainstream discourse through
speaking engagements and the press. [3]

And we’ve seen success!

From New York City and Seattle, where CJA members like UPROSE [4] and Got
Green [5] have led the way in securing local GNDs, to the Indigenous
Environmental Network [6] pushing for a GND to center Indigenous wisdom and
the Gulf Coast Center for Law and Policy [7] launching the nation’s first
regional GND encompassing the Gulf South just last month, our members are
demonstrating what we mean by #LivingOurPower.

_Check out this video [8] to hear directly from some of our members and see
what they can accomplish when we all put our support behind them:_

As we move into 2020, will you affirm your commitment to climate justice by
SIGNING UP TO BECOME A SUSTAINING DONOR [1] TO CJA FOR AS LITTLE AS $10 PER
MONTH? 

_Inclusivity to us means everybody, _so if you find social capital more
readily available, please SHARE OUR WORK ONLINE [9] AND ASK FIVE PEOPLE IN
YOUR LIFE TO SUPPORT.

It’s clear that the time, energy, and money you contribute to CJA will
have a lasting impact, from critiquing national legislation like the GND to
convening the frontlines of climate justice. From Pacific to Atlantic.
Puerto Rico to Guam. From January to December.

As we like to say,_ transition is inevitable, justice is not._ Your
support, your friends’ donations, and everything we receive goes directly
to creating the just future we fiercely need.

In solidarity,

Mark Chavez
