Anne's Climate Emergency Matching Gift Challenge
Hi! My name is Anne — I’m a mom, grandma and dedicated XRA Rebel.
I’m stepping forward to act now and address the unprecedented Earth emergency facing us today.
I’m passionate about Extinction Rebellion America’s mission, and I’m willing to sacrifice my life savings to empower and mobilize everyone everywhere to help us survive the approaching social and economic chaos from climate breakdown!
Look…I’m not rich, not by any stretch of the imagination. I’m just like you…passionate about Mother Earth and the climate breakdown she’s facing. I have children and grandchildren and see the writing on the wall. So I’m stepping up to match — dollar for dollar — the total of all donations made to XR America, up to $30,000, from now until August 31st, 2021.
That means any donation you make during this campaign will have twice the transformative impact and twice the power to make a difference!
There’s no time to lose. A few weeks ago a hellish Heat Dome hit the Pacific Northwest, killing hundreds of people and an estimated one billion marine animals. Portland, OR, experienced temperatures 40 degrees above normal for a week.
Just last year:
20 terrifying tropical storms — over 2.5x the average number — caused devastating losses everywhere.
The spread of extreme drought conditions in Western United States seriously impacted our ability to grow food.
Bigger, hotter, more vicious wildfires burned around the world. In California and Oregon, wildfires aren’t seasonal anymore. In Australia, 47 million acres and one billion animals burned up in one fell swoop.
Yet our government continues to do nothing but talk. It’s insane. It’s time to act!
Join me in this matching donation opportunity and become part of the XR America solution! Join the Rebellion and become a partner in our unique, on-the-ground nonviolent mass mobilization efforts to address climate breakdown.
There’s not a lot of time, so give what you can afford. Help strengthen our communities to survive the existential threat we all face — right now — from climate collapse.
Thanks for any support you can provide!!
Anne
