Friend,

The consequences of a rapidly warming, increasingly crowded planet become more evident every day—as our population hurtles towards 8 billion people. Greenhouse gas emissions escalate, climate change accelerates, biodiversity decreases, food and fresh water become scarcer, and life becomes worse for the most marginalized people around the world.

You know that one crucial factor in solving climate change is stabilizing global population. And best of all, you know the most effective solution—the empowerment of women and girls by expanding access to family planning options and girls’ education.

That’s why I hope you’ll respond to our Summer Matching Gift Challenge today and help inform more Americans about the inextricable links between global population growth and environmental destruction. Your generous fellow supporter hopes to inspire YOU with a one-to-one match, up to $100,000, to invest in our campaign to protect the planet by empowering women and girls.

Your gift of $35.00 today will be DOUBLED by their generosity!

You can broadcast the links between population growth and environmental degradation, expand access to family planning options for people everywhere, and educate more people across the United States about the dangerous threat of soaring population growth.

So please, consider a gift of $35.00 today. When you make your gift through September 15th, it will be matched, dollar for dollar, by our Summer Matching Gift sponsor, up to $100,000!

Thank you for all that you do,
