Power the trial for life on Earth!

Power the trial for life on Earth!
The Financial Times, May 31, 2023:
"Earth past its safe limits for humans"

The climate crisis is an "extinction-level" threat -- yet governments are gorging on fossil fuels. Most politicians won't live to see the world they create. Our children will.

Now, in a ground-breaking court case, 21 youths are putting the US government on trial.

The government has tried everything to block this case -- for eight years! But now decades of climate decisions will be examined in a court of law, where facts are facts, and the rest is perjury. The world's largest fossil fuel producer will be exposed for aggressively funding the biggest threat to life on Earth.

The 21 youths are preparing right now -- and need global support.

Our movement could fund the heart of their case, powering one of the largest evidence collections in history. We'd campaign to stop the government blocking this trial, and ensure global media coverage when the US administration is found guilty. This case will spark a landslide of lawsuits globally -- governments, beware!

If we raise enough, we can also supercharge our other legal battles: to block a monster pipeline, and put all EU governments on trial, too.

US President Biden just launched another attack to derail this court case. But these 21 youths will not be stopped -- we can make sure of it. From across the planet, let's fund the trial for life on Earth, donate what you can now.
