Hi [First Name],
I want to make sure you got a chance to see Hope’s email earlier this week.
We’re so hopeful about the Power Shift 2021 convergence and what we have set out to do.
Can we count on you to share our fundraiser and kick off this effort?
In order to make this work we’re going to need more folks to get involved.
Thanks for all that you do,
-Akilah

Hi Akilah,
We're at a critical time in the fight for climate justice.
I don't need to tell you what we're up against -- you already know. You experience and witness it every day.
So do I.
At Power Shift Network, we've been thinking a lot lately about how we support a climate movement that can match the challenge of the climate crisis. We've been working with our partners and collaborators to plan how we're uniquely going to show up in this fight.
Because you have donated to us in the past, I want you to be among the first to know that we're soon going to announce a bold new undertaking -- Power Shift 2021 -- a convergence of young people coming forward to address the crisis of climate change.
Will you join us once more by sharing our Facebook fundraiser with your network? Even if you can't give again -- this small action will be a huge contribution to our efforts.
In order to build a convergence that matches the crisis of climate change and serves as a leadership onramp, we will need the financial support of grassroots leaders like you. We've done this before because we see the incredible power of young people in this movement and we want to go beyond our past successful efforts.
Nothing else will do if we are serious about bringing young people into the climate movement. And we're very serious about that.
PSN 2021 will focus on bringing in and training young people in the climate movement, and supporting them in building community, skills, and identity, as well as plugging them into movement spaces our Network members occupy.
We also understand that people of color at the front lines of the climate crisis need to be at the center of any true movement towards climate justice. Power Shift 2021 will center youth of color in the planning, programs, and post-convergence activation of participants.
You've been with us in the past. Can we count on you again to share our fundraiser with your friends?
We'll have so much more to tell you in the weeks to come about our plans for this convergence.
Thank you for all that you do.
-Hope
P.S. Don't want to share but still want to get involved? Become a donor once more.
