Corporations tried to hijack a key democratic process to maintain profits at the expense of people and the planet. But we fought back.

| Did you miss the news out of California, Kathleen? |
| The state legislature just passed AB 421, a crucial bill to prevent corporations from hijacking California's referendum process and overturning our hard-fought progressive wins. |
| This is a major victory — but the fight is not over yet. It's time for us to rise up alongside community activists all over the country and make enough noise to drown out the corporate dollars — and we won't be able to rise to the challenge without the support of committed Greenpeacers like you. So please, Kathleen: Will you rush a gift of $10, or anything you can, to help support all of Greenpeace USA's crucial work to protect the planet? |

 | | | | Kathleen, | | Did you hear the BIG news out of California? | | AB 421 was passed by the Legislature, bringing clearer voting language and greater transparency at the ballot box! | | This victory is thanks to thousands of individuals, communities, and coalitions — YOU — saying no more to big corporations' attempts to hijack our democracy and take advantage of a broken referendum system. | | The common sense reforms we fought for — and WON — will be enacted just in time. Big Oil has a referendum on the 2024 ballot that could allow them to keep drilling dangerously close to homes, schools, and hospitals. We must continue to fight corporate interests' stranglehold on our democracy for the health of our people and planet. | | What better way to fight than together? In just one week, the Arctic Sunrise — an iconic ship in the Greenpeace fleet providing crucial research, protesting unjust practices, and protecting our planet — will be in Southern California. | | If you'll be in town, or you know someone who will, please join us onboard the Arctic Sunrise to see Greenpeace USA's California work in action and get involved in the ongoing fight for a healthy democracy. | | | | Can't make it onboard? We hope you find a way to celebrate this win that YOU made happen and stay tuned — we'll be in touch soon with next steps in the fight for healthy communities in the Golden State. | | 2024 is right around the corner. Join us on the Arctic Sunrise and beyond to let California, and the nation, know that people — not corporations — should be in control of our future. | | In solidarity, | | Amy Moas, Ph.D.
