Well, this all seems terrible. Can we help?

Our plan for 2020 in a nutshell:

1) Take radical action that reflects the urgency of the climate crisis;

2) Begin again with the project of using digital tools to build creative, connected action with people; And

3) pay attention to the 2020 election and politics, without getting consumed or distracted by it.

John, 

2020 and the new decade are not off to a very encouraging start: Australia is on fire. So is the Amazon and there was just a huge oil spill in Brazil. Puerto Rico is being rocked by earthquakes even as it struggles to get the relief money Congress appropriated, and which Trump's racist administration still wont deliver. Trump might start a war with Iran to distract himself from Impeachment. And the blitzkrieg assault on the planet continues apace: with Trump opening new attacks on (another) one of our oldest and most effective environmental laws: the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA).

But there's good news too: 88 people chipped in just under $1000 to support this project in December - so we've got the funds we need to keep writing and emailing you. New coalitions are launching and re-launching with exciting plans for a 72 hour climate strike in April to honor the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the new generation of climate leaders. And lawsuits are advancing to honor treaty rights and stop Keystone XL, as well as to stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline from Crossing the Appalachian trail, and much more. Not to mention the 2020 election - with primaries starting in a few weeks.

We're trying some new things for 2020 too - adding some new ways to interact and stepping up our plan for for more and more radical actions. I'd love you to take a look, and if you're so moved give us some feedback in the comments or by replying to this email. Click here to check it out.
