CLIMATE EMERGENCY FUND

The climate crisis poses an existential threat to all life, and we’re running out of time to address it. Emergency decarbonization must begin urgently for humans and our non-human relatives to survive. Yet in spite of great policy recommendations and high-level advocacy, the will to act isn’t there. Politicians, corporations, and the media continue to ignore the seriousness of the catastrophe we’re facing.

We believe the only response that can lead to action is nonviolent civil disobedience and disruptive protest, and we are proud to raise money for and make grants to climate activists all over the world. Many people think that mass social movements happen spontaneously, but in fact they need to be planned and built, and they need money. The activists are so incredibly brave– let’s have their backs.

Climate Emergency Fund is proud to have helped groups like Just Stop Oil and Scientist Rebellion launch the European climate movements which have won huge victories and created meaningful change in Europe.Now we desperately need a mass movement of disruptive nonviolent protest in the United States.

With your support, we can do just that: help us catalyze the next wave of the U.S. climate movement through our Climate Resistance Incubator, which offers U.S. activists training, coaching, and financial support so that all over the United States, people start waking up to the climate emergency and demanding governments take action. We plan to support hundreds of activists receiving highly advanced organizing training.

Donate to us this giving season and help us to save ourselves and our planet!
