Together, you and I will stop Trump

Dear Kathleen, Let's do this. Power the Resistance, all the way to the People's Climate March and beyond! Fight alongside me with a donation to Greenpeace and do a good green deed. Ever since Trump took office, I have a daily, one-word to-do list: resist. It's short, but powerful. Just like I am. Being a part of the Greenpeace resistance I know I'm with a movement that is bigger than Trump — and you are, too.  And together, you and I are going to stop this greedy, heartless polluter from signing away our water, air, land, and climate future. Cut the EPA? Uh-uh. Gag NASA scientists? Hell, no. Obliterate the Clean Power Plan? Not on my watch. I am not going down without a fight. And I hope you'll fight alongside me by giving to Greenpeace today. I became a Greenpeace member right after Trump's election, because I knew it would make an impact. Let me tell you, nothing made me prouder than seeing a Greenpeace "RESIST" banner hanging over the White House! Now, I'm supporting Greenpeace's fundraising goal in the hopes we can reach $180,000 to fight Trump, Pruitt, and the polluters behind them. I urge you to please join me with your gift, in time for the People's Climate March on April 29th. It's a good, green deed you can do today to power the resistance. Next up for me is, I'm joining thousands in the streets of Washington, DC for the People's Climate March. I'm marching for people I know and people I've never met. People whose lives and future depend on the choices we make right now. Greenpeace is a partner for the march, and your support for the fund drive can make a huge difference in the power of our demonstration. On top of that, Greenpeace is organizing and resisting all across the country. They're campaigning to stop Big Banks from funding the Keystone XL pipeline. They're exposing Scott Pruitt's lies about climate change and fighting the influence of the fossil fuel industry. They're confronting environmental abuse and promoting sustainability and justice. The decisions our country makes today will be felt across the world. From climate refugees in the Pacific to Indigenous communities here at home. From farmers to fishermen. From polar bears to honeybees. From my little nieces and nephews to the young people in your life. The only way I know how to win a better future for us all is to stand with Greenpeace supporters today. We are powerful. So, let's do this. Sincerely, Kelly G. Proud Greenpeace Member P.S. You are the heart and soul of the Greenpeace movement. I hope you'll join in our effort to meet our $180,000 goal by April 29 to scale up our opposition to the Trump agenda—in time for the People's Climate March and every fight beyond. Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you! Donate Now

Pink hats unite! #ICANTKEEPQUIET on April 8th. And neither should you. 💗

Wear your hat on #ICANTKEEPQUIETDAY, let's knit, and a giveaway of NYC proportions! xo View this email in your browser Happy April!  I'm so excited to connect with you and fill you in on some "pink hat related opportunities" (I'm trying to get by your spam blockers, but you and I both know what the pink hat is really called! :) When I created "the pink hat project" in November with Kat, Jayna, Aurora and the millions of other women and men who joined the cause, I had a very good friend alongside me, she is the first person I spoke out loud to about my idea, and we all know how special that is, that moment you first give voice to an idea, when it's still so young and unsteady on its feet.  My good friend is Connie Lim and her musician name is MILCK.  You may have seen MILCK on the Samantha Bee show with her women's rights anthem that went viral at the Women's March #ICANTKEEPQUIET. A lot of people cannot believe that "the woman who created the unofficial uniform of the march" and "the woman who created the unofficial anthem" are In Real Life actual honest-to-goodness friends!  Connie and I call each other "Sister Goddesses" and she knows about my every hope, dream, fear, and guy crush of the moment (G-Eazy, the rapper who dresses like a young Elvis).   This is a selfie of  MILCK and me marching together in DC on January 21! Our creations have merged in beautiful ways!  All around the world, people are standing up for their beliefs by wearing pink cat ear hats while singing MILCK's beautiful song "I Can't Keep Quiet."  Here's an example of a flashmob in Sweden! MILCK and I are so excited to invite you to join us on April 8, 2017 on I Can't Keep Quiet Day.  Please check the link for all the details - you can participate from wherever you are in the world!  It can be as simple as taking a photo of yourself in your pink hat and posting it to social media with #icantkeepquiet.   And if you'd like to join us in person, we will be in New York City, at Washington Square Park at 1pm on April 8th!  I have been madly taking daily voice lessons trying to learn how to harmonize, but my voice teacher Claire says that while learning technique is great, on the day of, I just gotta let go and sing my little heart out :) Today is day 74 of Trump's first 100 Days.  I know all of us have been striving to find ways to stay politically engaged - thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  The acts of resistance big and small have all been working.  I want to address a criticism that I get, that you might get as well.  "Aren't you just preaching to the choir?"  I heard the best response to that recently, from Professor Devon Carbado, at a Post-Election Community Gathering at UCLA, "Well, the choir doesn't meet up often enough! We're a little out of tune."  Coming together, whether it is in a "choir practice" or a "knitting circle" is a powerful way to discuss issues, band together, and practice showing a united front.  Another speaker from the UCLA night, Lorri L Jean, CEO of the Los Angeles LGBT Center, says that a lot of the victories in the fight for LGBT rights in the 1990s came from "learning how to work with people you agree with two-thirds of the way." As MILCK often says, "when we harmonize we cannot be divided."  I love that the "pink hats" come in all shapes and sizes and styles, just like in MILCK's song, we can all sing different parts, but we come together to create a huge flag of beautiful, peaceful, powerful resistance. If you ever feel that a phone call to a senator is futile, too small of an act, remember how sending 1 hat to DC helped create a huge impact.  Your phone call is like that 1 hat, it is helping.  You might not see the physical "victory" like we saw with the hats, but you can know that all of our individual actions come together in a collective powerful way - the hat is a reminder of that.  (Growl, oh spam blockers, I so want to use the ACTUAL word instead of just "hat" but you know what I mean!) I'm LA-based, but will be traveling over the next few months.  First stop is New York City.  You can come meet me at Knitty City (one of the flagships of the resistance!) this Friday at 4:30pm.  I used to live in New York (while attending Barnard College) so I have a ton of dreamy memories of the city.  With artist Aurora Lady, I created a special MAP of my favorite places in New York!  It will be a free downloadable on my website, but just for my newsletter subscribers, I am giving away 100 of them, and I will sign them to a specific person if you wish.  (The first 10 people to write in and then 90 chosen at random/on whim.)  I'm a stationery nerd, so I am drooling over these prints - they are printed on beautiful watercolor paper, that you have to touch to believe. All you have to do is write back to me at this email address heyitsme@kristasuh.com. You can write about what your perfect day in NYC would be OR what you are curious about right now - a hobby?  A book?  A political issue?  A person?  It can be 1 sentence long or a manifesto.  I'm personally trying to cultivate my curiosity.  I think the beautiful thing about New York is that there's always something to be discovered, it's a city that rewards curiosity.  And I think the best ideas come from releasing shame and creating from that place of curiosity.   AND BY THE WAY - if you're a friend of mine on this mailing list and you're thinking "oh I don't need to write in to get a watercolor print, I see Krista everyday, Krista will just give me one" NOT TRUE, you have to write in like everyone else, because I like the attention :D. (That means you Yumi Sakugawa!  And Rachael Lee Stroud!) Take care, my loves!  I am filled with that insane deep welling feeling of joy for you right now, "Gratitude" doesn't even begin to cover it. All my love,  .            .

Stand up for free speech and the right to protest!

Dear Kathleen, Your constitutional right to peaceful assembly is under attack. Stand up for free speech and the right to protest! Every Greenpeace supporter should be alarmed. Huge and growing marches and demonstrations have shown lawmakers that our resistance to Trump's anti-climate, anti-justice agenda is gaining momentum. And behind the scenes, they are taking action to silence us all. In 19 states so far, laws have been proposed by conservative legislators that would crack down on peaceful protests1, infringing on our right to free speech, undermining democracy, and putting human lives at risk. Peaceful assembly is protected under the Constitution — and these assaults on our First Amendment rights are nothing but scare tactics. That's why I'm asking you to sign this petition immediately. Tell your state's leaders to stand for your constitutional rights. In North Dakota, where we protested with our allies against the Dakota Access Pipeline, a new bill would allow drivers to mow down protesters with their cars. If the driver's actions were "unintentional," the driver would not be held legally accountable for hitting protesters in the street.2 A bill moving through the Minnesota legislature would let cities charge protesters with the cost of policing the protest. Protesters found liable for "unlawful assembly or public nuisance" could be sued for the cost of police response.3 In North Carolina, a bill would create a new "economic terrorism" felony charge for any protester who caused $1,000 or more in economic damages and who was thought to be attempting to intimidate the government or the public.4 These attempts to silence dissent should be huge red flags for anyone — Democrat or Republican — who values the First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly. At Greenpeace, peaceful protest is too integral to our mission. We cannot fight for climate action, or clean air and water, or the health of our communities, without organizing, mobilizing, and speaking out as a unified movement. And it's not just about Greenpeace: it's about all of us. A healthy democracy, speaking truth to power, and political expression, are values fundamental to our nation's identity from the start. So we cannot let governments and corporations silence us. We must stop these unconstitutional measures now, and your state leaders need to hear from you. These bills are a threat to our democracy, a threat to our ability to enact change, and even a threat to human lives.  Please – refuse to be silent. Contact your state leaders today to defend free speech and the right to peaceful protest. Thank you! For a green and peaceful future, Rebecca Gerber RESIST team, Greenpeace USA P.S. Greenpeace's power lies in our direct action, in people joining together and resisting. Trump and his corporate enablers would love nothing more than to deal a crippling blow to our entire movement. But we won't be silenced — and we know you won't either. Please stand strong with us, as you always have, and fight back. Sign the petition today.

Carbon Dioxide Declared Not a Primary Contributor to Global Warming

Dear Kathleen, Expose the Truth. Stand for the Environment and Justice. Power the Resistance with a donation to Greenpeace and help us reach our $180,000 goal! Nope, that's no April Fool's joke. Scott Pruitt, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, actually said he does not believe that carbon dioxide is a primary driver of global warming. Our top government leaders are turning their backs on science. It's going to take every one of us standing together to expose the truth, hold these climate deniers accountable, and stop Trump, Pruitt, and the fossil fuel industry from literally destroying the planet. With your help, we will #resist to protect our communities from Trump's deceitful, dangerous agenda. Make a contribution to Greenpeace today to help us meet our goal of $180,000 to power the resistance and run our groundbreaking environmental campaigns. With the EPA on the budget chopping block, Pruitt peddling misinformation, and Trump's recent Executive Order aimed at overturning the Clean Power Plan, the stakes are higher than ever. So we must be stronger than ever. We're putting pressure on Big Banks to not fund Keystone XL. We're sounding the alarm on top government officials' ties to the fossil fuel industry. And we're mobilizing with our allies at the People's Climate March (which I hope you'll be a part of!) to sound the alarm about the threats to our planet's future and insist on action. We've set a goal of raising $180,000 by April 29 – the day of the People's Climate March. Can we count on your gift today to help power the resistance and fight for our planet? The resistance is making a difference. When thousands of everyday people spoke out to protect their healthcare, Trump and Ryan's terrible healthcare bill failed without even making it to a vote. Every time Trump introduces a Muslim Ban, resisters take to the streets and the courts step in. And we're going to keep resisting for our communities, climate, and environment. We're making the truth known about what will happen if Trump and Pruitt dismantle the EPA and the climate protections that you fought so hard for. We will not let our country push the planet towards climate catastrophe, and we will not let our communities be taken over by choking smog and polluted water. We're fighting for a renewable future, and we won't let Trump get in our way. Please donate now and help resist Trump's anti-environment policies and support ALL of our important environmental campaigns! Sincerely, Mary Nicol Climate Campaigner, Greenpeace USA P.S. Pruitt's outright lies about carbon dioxide fly in the face of everything the EPA has stood for.  It's more important than ever that we unite to expose the truth and stand for justice. Help us do it with your support today. Greenpeace never takes a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do is thanks to the generous support of people like you! Donate Now
