Dear John,

Right now, UK corporates are reaping the benefits of environmental destruction. While communities and wildlife around the world pay the price.

Around 8.5 million hectares of forest is lost globally every year. This isn’t “just business”. It’s a crisis. And it has to stop.

Today, we’re offering you a unique opportunity to take action. If you set up a monthly gift to Friends of the Earth via the Big Give, they’ll match your first 3 donations.

Will you take that extra step for people and planet?  

When you take action, you join thousands, all calling for a change to “business as usual”.

Your gift will help power our campaign to secure a new law that protects forests and people's lives – the Business, Human Rights and Environment Act.

This new law would hold UK companies legally accountable for the environmental destruction and human rights abuses caused in the making and delivery of their products. And it would finally give affected communities around the world the chance to seek justice in UK courts.

Can we count on you? Will you set up a regular gift via the Big Give today?

I know that we often feel helpless in the face of widescale destruction. But I promise you that with your support, my team and I will fight tooth and nail to get this law passed. You can trust us to do everything in our power to get the job done, no matter how long it takes.

Please, take action today to protect forests, wildlife and communities – before it’s too late.

Thank you for putting planet over profit,

Clare,

Campaigner, Friends of the Earth

PS The Big Give will match the first 3 donations of your regular gift when set up via their site. Gifts up to £500 a month will be matched. If the funding pot isn’t enough to match your first 3 gifts, you’ll be given the option to decrease your monthly amount, cancel, or proceed anyway. This offer is live until 28th September, or until the matched funding runs out. You can cancel your regular gift at any time via the Big Give website.
