John -

We're quickly approaching the end of this fiscal year on September 30,
which means 350.org is gearing up for a new year of inspiring, impactful,
and ambitious climate campaigns to take down the fossil fuel industry.

If you have a few minutes, I'd love a moment of your time to tell you
about our plans. Because our campaigns and our movement are fueled by
people power, and we will need your support to build a safer future for
all, John.

But before I dive in, if you're ready to support our work in the upcoming
fiscal year — so we can end the era of fossil fuels together — please chip

Now, let's dig in to some of the priority campaigns that 350.org is
ramping up in the coming fiscal year:

 End fossil fuel finance: 

Fossil fuel companies are not going to stop fracking or drilling all of a
sudden because it is the right thing to do. Our best course of action is
to go after the flows of money that keep corporations like Exxon, Shell,
and BP alive. If we cut off Big Oil's access to money, they will no longer
be able to ruin our planet for profit.

But it won't be easy: it's going to take an unprecedented climate movement
to demand change from financial institutions. That's why we're ramping up
our fossil fuel finance campaigns all over the globe and targeting major
financial institutions like the Federal Reserve. Because every time we
pressure any bank, anywhere in the world, to drop a fossil fuel project,
we're sending a message that we will no longer accept their climate
destruction.

One example of how we are ending fossil fuel finance is by targeting the
East African Crude Oil Pipeline.

 #StopEACOP: 

We're hard at work preventing French oil giant Total Energies from
building the world's longest heated crude oil pipeline — the East African
Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). If finished, the pipeline would cause
devastation for the communities and ecosystems in Uganda and Tanzania, not
to mention the effect it would have on accelerating the global climate
crisis.

EACOP still has the support of the world's biggest insurance broker, and
as long as that's the case, Total Energies will continue to look for ways
to complete this dangerous pipeline. We've already made major headway on
getting financial institutions and large insurance companies to refuse to
support the pipeline, but we can't stop now.

 A just and equitable transition to renewable energy: 

In order to end our reliance on fossil fuels, whilst meeting the energy
needs of growing populations around the world, we must build up our
renewable energy infrastructure. But it also has to be done in an
equitable way, through community-led energy solutions, by making clean
energy jobs accessible to everyone, and with a focus on ensuring that
frontline communities have the resources they need to recover from climate
impacts.

Achieving this will require government-led economic shifts around the
world, and it is up to us to demand that our governments take bold and
ambitious climate action.

 COP27: 

Every year, the countries that have signed the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change meet for a Conference of the Parties (COP).
Here at 350.org, we know that the outcomes of these conferences are often
disappointing, but also that they receive a massive amount of global
attention and news coverage. That's why we'll have boots on the ground
when COP27 takes place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, in November — so we can
use this moment to uplift our existing campaigns, engage new audiences
around the world in our fight for climate justice, and shine a light on
EACOP to stop the construction of this disastrous pipeline.

Phew! I know that was a lot of text, so thanks for bearing with me.

I hope that after reading this email, you will feel inspired to make a
small contribution to support all our work towards a better and safer
future for everyone:

[ [link removed] ]Please contribute whatever you can today to support our ambitious
campaigns. Your donation will go straight towards protecting our future,
our climate, and our communities from the fossil fuel industry.

I would be lying if I said there wasn't a lot at stake for our planet. You
and I both very well know that we have to act now to prevent the worst
effects of the climate crisis. But campaigns like these give me hope for a
brighter future.

Thank you for helping us make this work possible.

Onwards,

May Boeve
