| 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.

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