Last week, we told you about our big goals for expanding our coverage of climate change, and we asked for your help.
We’re blown away by your support for serious investigative journalism on the most important issue of our time.
But we have not yet met our goal. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute, it’s not too late.
Will you donate today to help us break new ground in environmental journalism?
Right now, way too many lawmakers in Washington flat-out refuse to face the facts when it comes to climate change.
We’re never going to make real progress on this issue unless members of Congress get serious. Instead, some of them have made a habit of publicly mocking it.
We thought it was time to call them out for denying what’s basic science.
The science matters in this.
That’s the message way too many people in Washington need to hear right now.
In 2011, there were 240 members of Congress who voted to say that climate change is a hoax.
Most of them are still around today, and they’re getting away with it — some of them are actually proud of it. They think the whole debate is pretty funny.
If we want to make progress on climate change, we need everyone in Congress on board for a solution. It’s our job to show them there’s a price to pay for being a climate denier.
Take a look at this video above and join the fight:
Get ready — more on this coming soon.
Thanks,

During the past couple of weeks, over a billion people in 192 countries took action for Earth Day, and many people like you helped build an impressive digital mosaic capturing The Face of Climate Change.
People organized rallies, demonstrations, clean-ups, tree plantings, educational events, andmore to protect their local environment and to raise the profile of the most pressing environmental issue of our time:climate change. Countless others made personal commitments to live more sustainably.
In fact, The Face of Climate Change has received such a strong response that we’re going to continue the campaign!
Your actions and stories have the power to inspire the world and are essential to building this new climate movement; keep them coming! They’ll serve as an interactive and personalized petition to world leaders as Earth Day Network and our partners push for strong international and domestic climate policies.
The Face of Climate Change again proves that a lot of little actions add up to something big. Join the movement – and bring your friends! Together, we’ll make a difference in 2013 and beyond.

Dear friends,
Way too often I hear and read blatantly false statements about climate change, namely that it doesn’t exist. It’s very frustrating — and it makes me want to fight back and make sure we all hear the truth.
There’s a new online tool called Reality Drop from The Climate Reality Project, along with Arnold Worldwide, built to spread the truth and destroy denial around climate change. This is the REAL information from scientists’ decades of research, not government or corporations. Give it a try.
Visit Reality Drop and get started!
There are two things I’m passionate about: my music and nature. Therefore, I’m passionate we get it right about climate change so we may continue to enjoy music and our precious environment. Reality Drop is a way to respond to those who deny climate change and make sure our friends have access to the truth — and have fun while we’re at it.

Thanks,
With your help, we are leading the way in the fight against climate disruption. We are gaining so much momentum, but we can’t do it without you!Stand with us today — pushing for stronger climate protections, doubling down in our fight against Big Oil and King Coal, and working to protect critical habitats.This year can be the turning point, but we can’t squander the momentum we have built — we need everyone to pitch in. You know how important this fight is. Let us know you’re on board and be a part of history. |

I was arrested, along with Sierra Club president Allison Chin and almost 50 other environmental leaders, activists, poets, ministers, farmers and scientists. The one thing we all shared was a conviction: President Obama must act to protect our climate and that means saying “no” to the Keystone XL tar-sands pipeline. We have the momentum and we are gaining ground, but we cannot win the fight against climate disruption without your voice! That is why I am asking you to stand with us by making a gift today. In just the next few weeks we will launch major pushes to fight for a Coal-Free New England, combat the export of Liquid Natural Gas, and press for the declaration of some of the largest wilderness preserves in over a decade. But we need your help to make it all possible. Big Oil, Big Coal, and all the other polluters who would trade a buck for our world’s future are powerful foes. But we can beat them, we must. The tide of public opinion on climate change has shifted decisively. We have a clear understanding of the crisis. We have solutions. What we don’t have is time. We cannot afford to wait. Please help us win this fight. Donate today. Sincerely, |
Then SHARE it with your friends. And remember to use the hashtag #faceofclimate on
