Dear
friends, |
|
Six
kids have seen the future, and they are
terrified.
Raging wildfires
scorched entire forests in their country to
nothing, killing 120 people.
As heatwaves
spiralled out of control, Cláudia,
Catarina, Martim, Sofia, André and
Mariana watched in horror
the ongoing reality of climate chaos
inch closer to home than
ever.
But they’re refusing to
have their fate sealed -- and are
doing something extraordinary!
Together,
they’re taking 33 major governments to
one of the world's most powerful
courts. If they win, all those
countries could be legally forced to slash their
carbon emissions.
This trial
could change the world. But the kids need our
urgent help.
Right now, they’re
facing a HUGE army of government lawyers and
after months of fundraising, they just
don’t have enough to land the win our planet
needs. But if we all chip in just a
small amount, we could help supercharge their
team of lawyers, and run ground-breaking
research to help prove the case.
This
trial isn't just about carbon emissions -- it's
about the world our children and grandchildren
will inherit.
Let’s bring hope
back into the courtroom and fight for a safer
future together -- donate what
you can now:

The
European Court of Human Rights is very selective
about the cases it will hear -- and yet
judges are even fast-tracking this
one. That's how critically important
this is. Because climate change
is a severe threat to our fundamental
human rights -- and the crisis has never been
more urgent. 2020 is now
officially the joint-hottest year ever
recorded: a year of runaway
wildfires, surging floods, and glaciers
vanishing before our eyes. The world is
shuddering and this great temple of life is on
the edge. We must act now. For years
we've been calling for real climate action. This
is our chance to force it -- so let's
help these kids win! If enough of us
chip in, we could:
- Massively
expand and strengthen the legal team to
assist attorneys with the trial;
- Fund
ground-breaking research to show how
governments are harming our children's
futures;
- Recruit legal
aides and researchers to analyse
the landslide of documents that government
lawyers will submit in days, and;
- Raise the
profile of the trial everywhere by
unleashing our best media and campaigning
firepower.
It's crazy that youngsters
should have to do any of this -- but if we all
rush to back them, we could win a massive
victory for the planet and all of humanity!
This is the trial for life on Earth, and
it's about to start -- donate what you can

These
kids didn’t cause climate change, but the
current path we’re on could rob their
generation, their children and grandchildren of
their future -- unless we do something. Time and
again, our movement has fought to protect the
planet. And we've made magic happen -- helping
to win the Paris climate agreement, protecting
huge tracts of threatened habitat, and standing
behind fearless indigenous communities as they
defend life on Earth. Now as children rise to
take up the charge, let's all lift them up,
together.
With endless hope and
determination,
Nick, Ruth, Marigona,
Mike, Martyna, Patri, Aloys, Mo and the rest of
the Avaaz team
PS. This might be your
first donation to our movement ever. But what a
