Back the climate children!

One lawsuit could stop Trump wrecking our planet. And here’s the kicker -- it’s a case brought by 21 children!

Yup, after 5 years of battling motions to dismiss their case, a US court ruled that 21 young people suing the US government have a constitutional right to a safe climate. Now, a Federal court is hearing their case against the President in weeks!

If they win, Trump will be forced to reign in the fossil fuel industry! This case could change everything.

But these are just children from small US towns. They don’t have sufficient funds for their tiny team of attorneys to fight Trump and the oil industry's fire with fire. Even the main philanthropic foundations are wary of litigation. So they’ve called on us for help.

Our community has a unique power to raise what’s needed to back them before they are due in court. These courageous children and their court case could be our last, best chance to stop Trump’s war on our planet. If 50,000 of us chip in just a small amount now we can support them and fight for a safe future.
