Friend,
On a typical day, if you pick up a newspaper or peruse the homepage of any mainstream news publication’s website, you’ll find little discussion of population growth.
Yet, more than a half-century ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. warned about “the modern plague of overpopulation.” True then. True today. But now it’s worsened by another plague, namely that of silence, driven, it seems, by “whataboutism.”
Point to a population connection, and many immediately try to change the subject: What about overconsumption? What about corporate polluters? What about microplastics? All that and much, much more is true. But the stubborn refusal to acknowledge overpopulation doesn’t change the facts of life on our crowded planet.
Population pressures pose grave threats to our health and environment. And yet, by ensuring access to safe and effective reproductive health care for all, we can forge a more sustainable future on a livable planet. We can make a relatively small investment in family planning programs that will pay enormous dividends, both for advancing human rights and protecting our environment.
That’s why I hope you’ll join our Summer Matching Gift Challenge today. [[link removed]] You can boost Population Connection’s critical work, and your gift will be doubled! Together, we’ll educate young people about population issues, advocate for universal access to reproductive health care, and solve our planet’s environmental problems.
Now, through MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, your donation of $35.00 will be matched, dollar for dollar, and you will make twice the impact on our programs broadcasting the vital links between stabilizing global population and protecting our planet. [[link removed]]

Warm regards,
