| Kathleen - Trump just announced that he will be withdrawing the US from the Paris Climate Agreement.
Trump has chosen to obstruct and actively derail any action to solve one of the world's biggest threats: catastrophic climate change that will only get worse if we don't act now.
In his first 100 days in office, Trump signed an executive order to stop the Clean Power Plan, moved forward the Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipelines, opened up public lands and coasts to more oil drilling, and has now abandoned one of the U.S.'s most important commitments to fighting climate change. It's up to us to resist.
That's why we're launching the Summer of Resistance, an unprecedented wave of people-powered direct action all across the country. Throughout the summer, Greenpeace will be training thousands of people in creative, non-violent resistance to fight Trump's anti-climate and hate-filled agenda. Will you help us make this summer a turning point for the resistance and for people power across the country? Give an emergency gift right to help fund the Summer of Resistance and support all of Greenpeace's campaigns for the environment.
Even with Trump as President, we CANNOT afford to give an inch in our fight for climate action. Just last year, the U.S. signed onto the landmark Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius. To honor this pledge, the U.S. needs to limit carbon emissions from fossil fuels and invest in the fast-growing field of clean energy.1 With Trump's announcement today, he's proven yet again he'd rather prop up desperate fossil fuel companies than protect people and our planet.
Luckily, Trump doesn't hold the real power in this country — you do. Your voice, your creativity, your passion — YOUR action is what will move this country forward. Everyone who cares about a climate-safe future must now work harder than ever to resist Trump's attacks. That's why this summer — and our collective resistance — has never been so important.
Show Trump that his efforts to undermine climate action won't work. Make a gift right now to support Greenpeace's Summer of Resistance and all our efforts to protect our climate, communities, and planet.
The movement against Trump's dangerous agenda keeps growing bigger and louder every day. Less than two weeks ago, the Peoples Climate March drew hundreds of thousands in the streets to call for climate justice and a clean energy future.2 We've been resisting in the streets, online, and in the courts. And we won't stop until we win.
We must resist and keep resisting to protect our climate and all the communities threatened by Trump's agenda. Join us with your support here.
And, get ready! It's going to be a summer to remember.
Yours in resistance,
Kelly Mitchell
Climate Campaign Director, Greenpeace USA
P.S. Trump's announcement to abandon the Paris Climate Agreement shows that his climate denial and campaign pandering to the fossil fuel industry aren't just talk. But we're fighting back. Support Greenpeace today and help us launch a wave of creative, non-violent action across the country in the Summer of Resistance.
