When times are tough, DOUBLE your impact

Do you know what I love about the climate movement, Pamela?

I love how — when times are tough — we come together to show that people will always be stronger than greedy corporations and self-serving politicians.

And today is no different. Because now that Donald Trump has been elected president, it is that much more important that we hit our Giving Tuesday goal.

And in response, a generous donor just reached out to say they're MATCHING ALL DONATIONS from now until our deadline tomorrow. That's incredible — because it means every single donation we receive today and tomorrow will go twice as far for the climate.

So if you've been waiting to make a donation, now is an amazing time to do so:

Can you chip in today to help 350 hit our $50,000 Giving Tuesday fundraising goal? Your matched gift will help fight back against the fossil fuel industry that is ruining our climate and the corrupt politicians that allow it to happen.

$5 BECOMES $10

$35 BECOMES $70

$75 BECOMES $150

$100 BECOMES $200

$350 BECOMES $700

Here's exactly why your donation today is so important:

Conservative, climate-denying governments are gaining influence. Donald Trump is only the most recent example of a disturbing trend of far-right governments taking power around the world.

We cannot let climate-deniers in power undo the progress our movement has made toward a cleaner, safer world, Pamela. We cannot let the fossil fuel industry wreak havoc on our climate and communities while corrupt politicians direct our focus elsewhere. But while they are gaining momentum, so are we.

This is not a time to slow down. This is a time to run even more ambitious climate campaigns than ever before. That is why we're doubling down on our efforts to build a better future:

In the U.S., we're targeting utility companies to demand that they transition away from fossil fuels and toward affordable, reliable and equitable renewable energy solutions.
In Canada, our new 'All of Us' campaign aims to fight back against growing far-right populism, and channel the public's growing economic anxiety into climate action.
In Europe, we're focusing on our Tax Their Billions campaign — a campaign demanding robust taxes on fossil fuel companies and the mega-rich to pay for renewable energy projects.
In Africa, our REPower Afrika campaign aims to launch and scale up community-owned renewable energy projects across the continent, and reduce Africa's reliance on fossil fuels.
In Latin America, we recently launched Energy of the People — a campaign to advocate for just renewable energy in every community in the Amazon.

Help keep our momentum going with a $3.50 contribution today to support climate campaigns all over the world — every donation goes TWICE as far between now and midnight tomorrow.

Thank you for helping to make something incredible happen today.

Onwards,
