Hello John

You’ve heard about the climate crisis. You know we can’t afford any more fossil fuel extraction. But did you also know about the biodiversity crisis?

 

🌳 Ecosystems from forests to peatlands are huge carbon sinks, and incredibly important for slowing global heating - but they’re being destroyed 1

 

🐝 Birds, bees and other insects are responsible for pollinating 75% of the world’s crop production - without these critters, we can’t produce food the we need 2

 

🔥 It’s a vicious circle - a heating planet destroys ecosystems, which then releases more carbon, which then heats the planet even more 3

We know the people of the UK want to get the attention of the Government, not disrupt the public. So between 21st - 24th April we’re doing just that - a powerful collective and accessible action outside Parliament to demand an end to the fossil fuel era which is causing this biodiversity loss.

 

A gift from you today will power this action to happen.

 

With your support, let’s show this Government that the UK public values the plants and animals on our planet, understands their importance and knows that we need to protect them.

The Government's words don't have us fooled. We need them to act and we're still waiting! Your donation will help XR to mobilise 100,000 people to be outside Parliament in a safe and inclusive way from 21st-24th April. 

 

Your donation will go further than you think, donate what you can today and support this immense action:

 

  • £20 for a first aid kit 
  • £40 to help spread the word with 2,000 flyers
  • £60 to make our demands known with 4 large banners

 

XR need £250,000 for this action to reach its full potential. It sounds a lot, but your donation today will make a dent, as will every other person you share this with.

Let's make this happen, together.
