Dear friends,
Today marks a new beginning.
Trump is
out... But all that he stands for, hasn’t
left with him.
There’s now a Trump in almost every
country. Every city, every town.
Someone telling us that we’re
different. That we must despise each other. That
climate change isn’t an existential threat.
We
can’t allow this Trumpism to keep ruling the world.
To rip apart our families and destroy our planet.
We
must resist.
Let’s all sign this last ever open letter
to Donald Trump and pledge to
fight for a world that’s
different from the one he tried to build: caring,
compassionate and united by our diversity.
To
build a brighter future. For everyone.
Dear
Mr Trump,
It’s time to say goodbye.
As citizens from every corner of this
planet, of all faiths and cultures, we pledge to stand
up for a world that‘s different to the one you tried to
build. One that is united, compassionate and
sees our diversity as strength.
We
pledge to fight, as one, against the existential threats
facing us all.
We’ll do our best to heal the
wounds you’ve left — on our planet, our societies, our
families. To reach out to those who might think
different. To find common ground where none
seems to exist.
It won’t be easy, but it must be
done. What other option do we have?
Your
term is over, ours isn’t.

With
fierce hope and determination,
Christoph, Mike, Nell,
Sofia, Melanie, Alma, Fadi, Bert and the whole team at Avaaz
