Subject: We want a future where all life thrives

Dear [name],

Help fund rebels to take mass nonviolent civil disobedience for the climate in October.

We want a future where all life thrives

All children deserve the opportunity to flourish and enjoy the beauty of our planet.

Yet fossil fuel industries are pushing us toward mass extinction

The 100 companies responsible for 71% of greenhouse emissions are pouring carbon into our climate at record levels. This is despite the UN’s warning that we must act urgently to prevent irreversible damage and human misery from the climate crisis. Without action, one million species may go extinct in the next few years. In New Zealand, two-thirds of our rare ecosystems are under threat of collapse.

Either we make history or we’re history

We can’t wait for the Government. They are too slow to act and continue to back destructive industries. We are inspired by the everyday people of London who chose to make history in April and took mass nonviolent civil disobedience. They achieved what facts, petitions and marches on their own hadn’t: the UK declared a climate and ecological emergency.

Draw the line in Wellington this October 5 – 9

In October, the London rebellion will spread to capitals across the world. Wellington will be the first to rebel. This is the moment you have been waiting for. It’s time for New Zealand to declare an emergency. Read more about our plans.

Civil disobedience needs funding to be effective

London’s win would have been impossible without funding. We need donations, big and small, to get the word out, cover event costs and for legal support.

Please help us fund the rebellion now.

Every dollar counts. Let’s create the future we want together.

Kind regards,

[Your name]
