I'm amazed, Pamela. Hundreds of supporters just like you from Florida have made donations over the past few days in response to the email that Andreas sent below.
Which means that as of today, we are just a few donations short if we're going to fully fund every member of 350.org's COP29 delegation. So I'm asking you personally, Pamela:
Thank you so, so much for making your first online donation today. Your support is helping us fight back against the fossil fuel lobbyists at COP29, and build a strong climate movement. More soon.
All my best,
Olivia Langhoff
Managing Director

Pamela -
I'm preparing for the climate talks at COP29. COP is the primary decision-making body for global climate goals. The decisions made at COP29 are the North Star for countries implementing them on national levels. It will shape the future of our planet — so we need to be there.
In just a few weeks, I'll travel to Azerbaijan to represent 350.org and your demands, along with our movement's climate activists. But hundreds of fossil fuel lobbyists are also getting ready to travel to Azerbaijan.
The good news is that 350.org has 7 slots available for climate activists in Azerbaijan. So we're aiming to fill every single place to even the odds.
We will put pressure on decision-makers to phase out all fossil fuels and set ambitious financial commitments to fund a global transition to renewable energy.
Which is why I'm writing to you today, Pamela:
We need to raise $11,000 to cover the costs before the COP29 meetings start. But we also can't afford sending less than our assigned 7 activists to the climate talks. So I am asking you personally:
I realize it might not always feel like it, but your $3.50 is truly helping fight the fossil fuel industry. It's helping us push for a fair transition to renewable energy, in which we make sure communities are no longer exploited, but reap the benefits.
Because unlike Big Oil's lobbyists who have endless pots of money to get their disastrous projects in front of world leaders, our climate activists rely on supporters like you chipping in $5, $10, or whatever you can, to afford basic lodging, food, and internet connection during the conference so that we can organize for bold climate action around the clock.
But with just a few weeks left, we are falling short if we are going to send climate activists to the climate talks.
One of the most inspiring things about our climate movement is that when every person chips in what they can, we are able to achieve what most people think is impossible. And the time for bold action to phase out of fossil fuels and power up renewable energies is now.
We'll keep you posted every step of the way on how your contribution is helping us protect our climate and our communities. More soon.
Onwards,
Andreas Sieber
