Dear Friends,
My new film, An
Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power, was recently released in
theaters across the United States. For two years, camera crews
accompanied me around the world to visit areas greatly impacted by
the climate crisis. From the melting ice sheets of Greenland to the
flooded streets of Miami Beach, I saw time and time again how Mother
Nature is calling out to remind us what will happen if we don’t take
climate action now. And in places like the city of Georgetown, TX,
which is moving to 100 percent renewable electricity, I also saw
that so many have the will to step up and fight.
That’s why it’s
imperative that we all do our part to protect our shared home. I’ve
had the great privilege of personally training over 12,000 climate
activists as part of our Climate
Reality Leadership Corps program, which I’m happy to say is
showcased in An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power. These
activists have shown me what can happen when citizens take a stand,
and every day, I’m amazed at their commitment and courage in
educating their communities about the climate crisis and empowering
them to take action.
Today, I'm
excited to announce that we'll be training
our next group of activists at our 36th Climate Reality Leadership
Corps Training in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from October 17-19,
with support from the Heinz Endowments.
We're at a
critical moment in our movement's history. In An Inconvenient
Sequel: Truth to Power, you’ll also see what was happening
behind the scenes at the UNFCCC’s COP 21, where 195 countries and
parties agreed to the Paris Agreement. While nearly every other
nation on Earth has committed to ending the climate crisis, the
White House recently submitted its intention to withdraw the United
States from the historic accord. This decision undermines America’s
standing as a leader in the world and threatens to damage humanity’s
ability to solve the climate crisis in time.
Make no
mistake: if President Trump won’t lead, the American people
will. We see this at every one of our Climate Reality Leadership
Corps trainings – and we'll see it again in Pittsburgh – where
everyday activists commit to creating a better tomorrow for our
planet.
Vladimir, learn
how you can make a difference in your community and apply
to join us at our next Climate Reality Leadership Corps Training in
Pittsburgh from October 17-19.
My friends, it’s
time to be inconvenient – our world depends on it.
With hope and
gratitude,
Al Gore
Founder
and Chairman
The Climate Reality Project
