You did it- you signed the Oregon Climate Declaration. We know, you've probably signed a million things before, and it hasn't seemed like such a big deal.
And, you're right, a single signature isn't that much. However, your signature, plus ours, plus the hundreds, thousands of other signatures add up. If you, we and everyone like us connect and raise our voices together we can keep fossil-fuel corporate money from rolling over the good people of Oregon, unless you, I, and everyone like us raise our voices together.
We're asking of you no more than we asked of ourselves: can you take 3 minutes right now and think of 5 people you know who care about global warming, who care about Oregon?
Then, right now, can you write a short, heart-felt request that they, too, sign the Oregon Climate Declaration? Something like:
" Hey, Deb, this is a small thing that can add up to big things. I recently signed the Oregon Climate Declaration- we're trying to connect 100,000 Oregonians who care about global warming and its impact on our lives. There are many more than 100,000, but that many signatures would allow us to really make waves in Salem.
Can you please read the Oregon Climate Declaration, and if you agree with it, sign it? I'd be grateful.
Thank you again for your signature, and thanks in advance for asking your friends. We're going to make big waves in Salem, and make Oregon a national leader nationally on building an economy that works for people and the planet; a world safe from the ravages of climate change; a world with good jobs, clean air and water, and healthy communities.
With gratitude,
Lenny Dee, Adriana Voss-Andreae & Mark Silver for the entire team at 350 Oregon
