My blood is boiling

Greenpeace

Kathleen -

"I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you are throwing our budget out of whack."

Trump actually said this yesterday when visiting Puerto Rico. He then went on to imply that Hurricane Maria was not a "real" catastrophe for the island while he continues to under resource relief efforts.1

Let that sink in. This is not how you treat people whose lives have been devastated by climate change.

My blood is boiling but I'm committed to turning my anger at Trump's disdain and dismissal into action. That's why Annie's message below is so important. I promise to never let Trump, other climate denying politicians, and fossil fuel corporations off the hook for human suffering fueled by climate pollution.

Will you help me hold fossil fuel corporations, Trump, and climate denying politicians accountable by donating to Greenpeace right now and supporting all of our campaigns to protect people and planet?

Thanks for all you do,

Kelly Mitchell
Climate Campaign Director, Greenpeace USA

Kathleen -

We must hold fossil fuel corporations and climate-denying politicians accountable right now!

Take Action!

Give genourously today to hold the line on climate change-fueled extreme weather and to support all of Greenpeace's work.

Take action

The whole country looks on as survivors in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, Dominica, and the U.S. Virgin Islands piece their lives back together after this month's extreme weather events. At a time of great anxiety, we can find solace in communities coming together — friends and strangers helping one another repair their homes and remove debris, sharing generators and food, collecting and distributing funds and supplies to those who need them. I'm so proud that Greenpeace's supporters have been a part of that — your generosity is staggering.

Greenpeace supporters also know that we can't count on those who fueled these problems to correct them. The people hit hardest by these extreme weather events are focused on restoring their homes and livelihoods — so they'll need to rely on the rest of us to hold the right people accountable.

Can I count on you to make an urgent gift to help us do just that and support all our work to protect the environment?

As we do all we can to support families and communities that are rebuilding, we must take on the additional work of demanding that fossil fuel corporations and climate science-denying politicians pay for the disasters made worse by undermining climate action. With their obscene profit margins and campaign war chests, it is unconscionable that they would refuse to protect our people and our planet from rising seas and stronger storms. We must force the issue.

Donate right now to stand together, hold the line against the corporations and climate change deniers who got us into this devastating situation, and support all our important campaigns. Let's do all we can, and stretch as far as we can, to stand up for victims of extreme weather until they have the strength to rejoin us.

Yours in solidarity,

Annie Leonard
Executive Director, Greenpeace USA

P.S. While communities rebuild we must hold fossil fuel corporations and climate science-denying politicians accountable for stronger Hurricanes. Give generously right now to support all of Greenpeace's important work!

Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you!
