Dear friends,

There are some very positive signs of how the fossil fuel industry is on the decline. We pay close attention to these signals as a way of understanding our impact.

If you haven’t yet signed up for a Global Climate Strike near you — please do so right away. From now until September 20, our focus is on making the Global Climate Strikes a resounding worldwide success and amplifying the voices of young people. You can read the following letter from young leaders to get further inspired.

Thank you so much for your continued support of this work.

Onward,

May Boeve
