I hope you are continuing to stay healthy and safe. We've reached the halfway point of 2020, and what a year it's been already. There are so many vital issues requiring our time, attention, and action right now.
Thank you for continuing to champion climate action in your work amid it all. It is more important than ever, and this year has shown clearly how no issues exist in a vacuum. Climate change is a racial justice issue, and climate action is vital to preventing another system shock like this pandemic.
Because the next crisis will likely be a climate crisis, and we have so much opportunity before us to ensure we are prepared and resilient in the face of future crises. We will be providing you with new opportunities to engage on this front in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, make sure to check out our new impact report, where you can see a snapshot of our community's progress three years in. If you like what you see, please consider supporting our work this year. We do need your help: We've seen tremendous growth in commitments and programming, but it's been a difficult year financially, and we are asking any who can to step up and support our community's work.
You can see sponsorship benefits and levels here, and commit to being a donor here. We'll profile you every chance we get! We currently have just over 50 sustaining donors, and we are hoping to reach 100 donors this year. Thank you to any and all who can support our community's work and help us reach that goal!
Have a great July 4, and stay healthy!
Best,
Erin

Racial justice is core to the climate movement I've spent the last few weeks listening and bearing witness to the powerful, unwavering public outcry across the country demanding an end to systematic, institutionalized police brutality and racism after the murder of George Floyd. We have so much more to do, and actively integrating racial justice and climate action must be part of that work. I am personally resolved to spend every day of my career fighting for a more just society, and that includes our work at the Climate Collaborative. Read our full statement here. |
