| Kathleen, we'll make this quick: |
| In case you missed Ebony's message, our mid-month deadline is at midnight tonight. |
| She explained it better than we can, so we're forwarding her message below. In short, though — Greenpeace USA will never back down from a fight against the billion-dollar corporations who abuse the law to bully climate champions into silence. |
| With the kind of foes we're going up against in courtrooms, and the resources it will take to stop them, we can't afford for a single supporter to sit on the sidelines. |
| But we're still very short of our $20,000 goal, and we've only got a few hours to do it, so please Kathleen: will you rush $10 or more right now to help us close the gap and keep defending people-power from big polluter bullies? |

| ---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Ebony Twilley Martin, Greenpeace USA
Subject: Power to the people — not polluters |
 | | |  | | Kathleen, | | I joined Greenpeace because of this organization's longstanding history of successful campaigning against those who put profits over people — proof that in the fight for democracy and environmental justice, the rights to peaceful protest and free speech are our two best tools. | | But in today's political climate, Big Oil is sabotaging these democratic guardrails — eroding key protections, and wielding shut-them-up-in-court bully-tactics like Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) in an attempt to keep us silent while they build legal barriers around polluting fossil fuel projects. | | That's why Greenpeace USA only speaks truth to power independently — we never take money from corporations or governments, so we're entirely reliant on grassroots support from people like you. As leaders in this climate movement, we have a moral obligation to defend our democracy and our communities' fight for a livable future. But we're reliant on your support to amplify our calls for a greener, fairer planet. | | Please Kathleen, before October 13, will you rush $10, or anything you can, towards our $20,000 goal? Your gift now will ensure we can take the fight for our climate, our democracy and our future wherever it's needed most. | | | | When I first got involved in the fight for our environment, it wasn't because I wanted to immediately become a climate activist. | | I joined the fight as a concerned mother, one who learned that my young son's asthma was likely due to air pollution — a story all too common in Black and Brown communities historically relegated to live near toxic industrial activities, with the least systemic power to fight back. | | I joined this fight because I was angry, and because I knew that the only way real change would come for my son, my community, and everyone who calls this planet home, was if I joined Greenpeace USA in speaking truth to power to hold the worst climate culprits accountable. | | Greenpeace's track record scares big polluters. While that also makes us a target, this isn't just about us — it's about defending all of our rights to demand climate justice, and we will not let corporate polluters intimidate us. | | We must unite to protect this movement and the communities that depend on it — and we're counting on your support. So please, Kathleen, will you join us in the fight for our planet and our democracy with your gift of $10 or more right now? | | | | Nothing we do is possible without you — ONWARD! | | Ebony Twilley Martin
