John -

The New York Times called this moment in time "an inflection point" for
the future of fossil fuels.^1

The good news is that Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Big Oil's
profiteering in the aftermath has made their greed abundantly clear.
People are seeing the consequences of our oil dependence in plain sight,
how it's fueling violence, and why we must transition now.

The bad news is that many fossil fuel executives are citing the war in
Ukraine as proof that their industry is indispensable.

We know that the media will play a major role in whichever story comes out
on top in these next few months, which could influence the future of
climate policy for years to come.

Fossil fuel companies have PR machines working around the clock. That's
why we must double down on our efforts and go on the offense against Big
Oil, but we need your help:

right now so we can get our message across and make this moment a turning
point to shift away from fossil fuels?

We already have evidence that we're winning,
John. Here are just a few:

 1. The White House has been clear that oil companies are gouging
consumers and setting artificially high prices for oil.^2 Further
proof of their corruption and greed.
 2. A growing number of members of Congress are calling for a "Big Oil
Windfall Profits Tax" that would hold Big Oil accountable for
profiteering and make polluters pay for their corruption.
 3. Momentum is building to reinstate the crude oil export ban that would
prevent the U.S. from selling oil overseas.^3
 4. According to recent polling by the Pew Research Center, 69 percent of
Americans say that developing sources of clean energy should be a high
priority for leaders in Washington and support a transition to 100
percent clean energy by 2050.^4

Our movement has worked tirelessly for more than a decade to end the era
of fossil fuels. Make no mistake, these developments are a direct result
of climate activists around the globe standing up to the greed of Big Oil.

But now it's crucial that we show our strength by getting even louder and
bringing even more people into our movement — from those who are
frustrated at the gas pump, to the activists who've been sitting on the
sidelines, and everyone in between.

In the coming months, we plan to work with global teammates across Europe
to hold the line on Russian oil and make the case for a rapid transition
to renewable energy now.

We can't let this inflection point be a backslide for our movement.

$3.50,
or anything you can, to help us spread our message and counteract Big
Oil's disinformation.

The era of fossil fuels is ending. Period. It's not a question of if we
will transition to renewable energy, but when.

Our job as a movement is to make the transition as quick and just as
possible, and to ensure that the polluters who are responsible for climate
damage are forced to pay the consequences.

Never forget that all of our small actions added together are extremely
powerful — and that together, we will win.

Thanks for chipping in what you can.
