I'm reaching out to you today to see if I can count on your support,
John. Here's why I need your help:
In just over two weeks, activists around the world will be out in the
streets to Draw the Line and demand an end to the era of fossil fuels.
Here at home and across the world, freedom of expression laws are being
removed, protests criminalized, and activists intimidated.
But mass protests are the engine of social change. We need the voices of
hundreds of thousands of people out in the street to force government
leaders, the fossil fuel industry, and the mainstream media to turn their
attention toward the climate crisis. We cannot afford to miss this
opportunity, John.
Our team here at 350 is working hard to make sure on-the-ground activists
have all of the resources they need to make their events a massive
success. That includes everything from sound systems, park rental fees,
porta potties, and security.
Yes, even porta potties.
I put together a quick list that I'm sharing with strong supporters like
you, so you can get a sense of what each contribution would roughly
achieve for one of these events.
[ [link removed] ]I'm hoping for a lot of contributions — especially today — so we can
help pull off these events and send an unmistakable message to world
leaders and the fossil fuel industry:
[ [link removed] ]$50: materials for posters
[ [link removed] ]$75: mic and speakers
[ [link removed] ]$100: parking rental fees
[ [link removed] ]$150: porta potty
[ [link removed] ]$185: security
[ [link removed] ]I can contribute another amount
These events will range in size from a dozen people standing up in their
communities, to thousands of attendees. And recent crackdowns on our civil
liberties means increased costs for security. That's why we want to be
sure we're prepared to support every type of action in every corner of the
country and around the world.
Thank you for chipping in what you can today, it means we can ensure each
of these events will be safe and successful.
Onwards,
Rushina Vipani
