Dear Paov,

So, I'm usually fairly eloquent, but less so when it comes to asking for money to fund 350.org. That's because I'm always of two minds about it: above all we need you volunteering yourself, and because we operate around the world and across many traditional lines, there's plenty of you who have no money to spare.

But if you have more than you need -- well, 350.org strikes me as a good investment. Our big campaigns to keep fossil fuels in the ground are working and paying off in large ways. In Canada, this year, we saw people power come out victorious against the largest tar sands pipeline ever proposed -- Energy East. And just this week, new academic research emerged proving that our movement is taking a significant financial toll on the fossil fuel industry.1

It works because we all work together. So watch this short message... from me -- and if you can, please donate:

Thank you, and onward,

Bill
