(bump) Daylight Saving Time is a climate issue

Every November, the practice of “falling back” as we switch to Standard Time disrupts our lives and robs us of an hour of daylight, just as we start to need it the most. Friends - We wanted to make sure you saw Ed’s note from yesterday about Daylight Saving Time and our efforts to make it permane…

Is there anything we can say to convince you?

The only way our movement wins is by standing together when it matters most. Friends - Is there anything we can say to convince you to contribute $3 or anything you can afford to our campaign before midnight tonight? What if you knew that your $3 could be THE donation that gets us across the fini…

An important request for you

Friends – I wanted to send this before the day gets away. I’ve been laser-focused on the urgently important work we’re doing in Congress on climate action and infrastructure, and the truth is that I haven’t had a lot of time to think about our fundraising. Fortunately, we fund our campaign in a …

Can you split a $5 contribution to keep a right-wing, Trump-endorsed Republican out of the governor’s office in Virginia?

We can’t negotiate with deadly wildfires, massive hurricanes, devastating floods, historic sea level rise, droughts, or extreme temperatures.
