Amazing news, John:
Late last night, we hit our goal of raising $100,000 for climate campaigns. But what is even more amazing is that when a generous donor found out we hit our goal, they offered ANOTHER $25,000 in matching funds!
So we've extended our Giving Tuesday deadline until midnight tonight to keep the momentum going. Because there's nothing stronger than people power, and by hitting our goal, we've shown that our movement is stronger than ever.
That means you have another chance to have your gift for climate justice DOUBLED, but only if you donate today. Will you help us prove the power of people one more time?
To learn even more about what your contribution will help achieve, please see our Executive Director's original email below. Thank you so much for everything you do, John.
In solidarity,
Team 350

Subject: I need to be honest
I need to be honest with you, John:
A few weeks ago, a new report was released that had me really worried — scientists are saying that there is currently no credible pathway to limiting earth's warming to 1.5ºC.
But with the biggest threat our planet has ever faced looming over us, I have hope... because here at 350.org, we are preparing to launch an unprecedented solutions campaign to offer communities around the world a pathway to transition to 100 percent renewables. 350.org is building community-owned renewable projects that break our reliance on the fossil fuel industry and set up infrastructure for a just future.
But it will not be easy: Every single fossil fuel company, CEO, and politician in the pockets of Big Oil will try to stop us. Yet, I know that with you by our side, along with hundreds of thousands of climate supporters around the world, we can — and will — transition to 100 percent renewables.
Two of 350.org's donors have committed $100,000 in matching funds for Giving Tuesday, November 29, so that we can launch our solutions campaign around the globe. So I am asking if you can donate $3.50 and we will DOUBLE your contribution:
There is so much to do, John. But if we pull this off, we will be able to replace deadly fossil fuel projects with real community-led solutions.
We need to map and research the barriers for implementing renewables, we need to grow our networks and coalitions we're working with to allow for campaign-focused growth, we need to create the most effective trainings, and build all the toolboxes and resources that our movement needs in order to dive into projects and campaigns.
Look, I know that it can be easy to lose hope when fossil fuel companies are making record-breaking profits, when politicians are rolling back climate regulations, and when climate disasters are only increasing in frequency. But every single fraction of a degree of warming matters for billions of people. Now is the time for every one of us to do everything we can:
Thank you for lending a hand today so we can bring justice and power to communities around the globe.
In solidarity,
May Boeve
