...I honestly feel that the climate crisis, and the opportunity we have to turn it around, represents the defining challenge of our time.
And I just can't look my kids in the eye unless I am working to tackle that challenge.
This is an incredible time for our movement. As last year's Step It Up and Power Shift events so clearly demonstrated, technology and the internet is connecting us in unprecedented ways. And this country -- from our political leaders to our business leaders to our neighbors -- have never been so clear about the severity of the climate crisis.
Thanks to your leadership, what wasn't possible for the climate movement just two years ago is now possible. With your help, 1Sky can build the networks, the alliances, and the political power that we need to turn our country in the right direction.
- As the current Congressional district visits show, we're coordinating a groundswell of activity. In the next few days, 1Sky volunteers have organized and are completing more than 500 planned visits to local Congressional district offices in every state in the country.
- 1Sky is making heavy investments in field. We're busy locating 1Sky organizers in New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada and Alaska with partnering organizations. And we'll be doubling that number in other states around the country in the coming months.
- We've secured dozens of allies amongst state, regional and national greens, as well as organizations from the business, social justice, student and faith communities. After such a successful year of climate action, there's a groundswell of interest in what we can do together.
- We're also preparing to launch a new website next month with the tools and resources needed to support a truly national movement.
We can do this. But the stakes are high. And we can only do it if we all lean into this together in a truly collaborative and creative way.
It's time for us to speak with one voice. We've identified 3 solutions that will transform America from being part of the problem to paving the way towards a clean energy future. The 1Sky solutions are three bold and inter-related policy solutions, driven by science, that match the scale and severity of the crisis. They are three solutions that our next president and next Congress can implement and transform America from being part of the problem to leading the way towards solutions, here and abroad.
That's what 1Sky is all about -- millions of Americans coming together to make our voices add up. To change the politics of what's possible in Washington, DC and deliver what is necessary.
We're growing, and we're still building the team. If you know anyone passionate about tackling global warming, please send them this link and invite them to apply immediately: http://www.1sky.org/about/jobs
I'm so glad to be working with you,

Campaign Director
