The dirty fingerprints of the climate crisis
are everywhere you look. |
This year in the US, wildfires destroyed over
10,000 square miles of land – an area larger than
the state of Maryland. |
Meanwhile, many on the US East Coast are still
recovering from the devastating rain, wind,
flooding, and storm surge produced by hurricanes
Florence and Michael. They join residents of
Puerto Rico and people up and down the Gulf Coast,
who more than a year later are still dealing with
the long-lasting repercussions of hurricanes
Maria, Irma, and Harvey. |
There’s no question that the climate crisis is
leading to stronger and more destructive weather
events like these.
We’re at an important
crossroads. Will government leaders rise
to the moment and act aggressively to ensure a
better world for our children and grandchildren?
Or will they willfully ignore dire warnings from
the world’s top
scientists? | |

The threat of the climate crisis has never been
clearer, and the stakes of inaction are higher
than ever. Last week, the United Nations’
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
released its Special Report on Global Warming
of 1.5°C, a report assessment of the
wide-ranging impacts that can be expected if
global average temperatures rise above 1.5°C. The
world’s leading scientific experts collectively
concluded that unprecedented and
aggressive measures must be taken to reduce
emissions to safe levels
today. |
Fortunately, cities, states, towns, and
businesses have led the way and committed to real
climate action by switching to renewable energy
and making drastic cuts to emissions, but
we must do more – and
quickly. |
Today, we’re launching a campaign to lead the
charge on these solutions. With support from
climate champions like you, we can train more
movement leaders to take real action in
communities across the globe. Together, we can
speak up and tell our elected leaders to fight
like our world depends on it, because it truly
does. |

We're at a critical crossroads. |

Together we must fight like our world depends
