Today is World Oceans Day and it’s never been a better time to act


 
 

I’m reaching out with a time-sensitive message: today is World Oceans Day. But as I’m writing this email, Big Oil is putting our oceans and endangered Southern Resident orcas in danger. 

Disastrous Big Oil projects are polluting our waters – threatening to wipe out the last 74 of these unique whales. These orcas are already mourning a recent loss to their family – a baby orca that disappeared shortly after being born near Christmas. And just one major oil spill could mean their extinction.  

That’s why I need your help today: we’ve set an urgent $55,000 fundraising goal in honor of World Oceans Day today. Every contribution will go towards stopping Big Polluters in their tracks, working towards a healthier future for endangered Southern Resident orcas, and protecting our only Earth. Every cent counts – so please, will you donate anything you can today to set the pace for World Oceans Day and get us one step closer to meeting our must-hit goal?

RUSH A WORLD OCEANS DAY GIFT

The Southern Resident orcas are grieving, starving, and on the brink of extinction. Miscarriages are all too common, and young emaciated orca bodies have been found lifeless and separated from their families.  

You may be familiar with the story of Tahlequah – an orca mother whose precious baby died just thirty minutes after she was born. Devastated, she carried her body over 1,000 miles before finally letting go. 

Tahlequah’s story is a testament to how deeply connected orcas are to one another, and how intensely they feel emotion. They can become so distressed that they are driven even further into starvation – making them more vulnerable to human-driven threats like oil spills. 

That’s why Big Shipping and Big Oil’s projects are serious threats. The proposed Roberts Bank T2 Terminal would bring more loud shipping traffic, making it harder for orcas to hunt with their sonar. The ever-increasing ship noise would also drive away the Chinook salmon that orcas eat. As if that isn’t bad enough, a massive oil pipeline expansion was recently completed, meaning a seven-fold increase in oil shipping through orca habitat. With the transport of oil, a disastrous spill is not a matter of “if”, but rather “when.” These projects could be enough to drive precious orcas to extinction – and we can’t let that happen. 

The harm extends to local coastal communities, too. Those who once watched orcas thrive could instead be seeing oil-covered sea life washing up on their shores. People that make their living fishing could see their livelihoods devastated by the polluted waters and damaged fisheries. And the noise and air pollution generated by the massive ships from these projects will significantly impact the lives of countless people living nearby and endangered orcas alike! This isn’t the future we want to see.

We need your help to protect Southern Resident orcas before we lose them forever and protect people and the planet from mega-polluting industries like Big Oil. At Friends of the Earth, we’re fighting tooth and nail to keep Big Polluters accountable and preserve our ocean habitats for the sake of threatened and endangered marine wildlife, people, and our entire planet. But we rely on support from generous activists like you – who know how high the stakes are and will fight day after day for our planet. 

Every dollar you give today will go towards our $55,000 World Oceans Day goal and continue our critical work to preserve our oceans and the planet.

Happy Anniversary: Civil Discourse Turns Two




I sent out the first Civil Discourse newsletter on June 7, 2022. The House January 6 committee hearings were about to start, and two days later, they did. Nothing like good timing!

Like so many of you, I was struggling to stay on top of everything that was happening in our country. I was desperately concerned there would be no accountability for the Trump era, no accountability for the events that culminated with the insurrection on January 6, 2021. I was worried about other issues too, ranging from climate change to civil rights to gun violence to protecting the right to vote. It was becoming clear to me that it was essential if we were ever going to find solutions for the issues I cared about that we first fight to save democracy and fight for the rule of law.

That night, I wrote to you about my goals for Civil Discourse: “I’ll help you stay up to date on important developments and what they mean. We’ll track down the facts and make sure we understand more than just the headlines. And I’ll link you to primary sources so you can access information and develop your own analysis on the issues that matter the most to you. We’ll have a community forum where we'll be able to privately discuss our questions and work through some of the complicated issues. We can use what we learn to help combat disinformation.”

I didn’t realize what a big job I was taking on or how many issues would confront us. I can only hope I’ve achieved a small part of what I so naively envisioned doing.

That first email I sent went to the 24 recipients who had signed up in anticipation of the newsletter. Only 75% of them opened it. But as people shared the newsletter and I mentioned it on Twitter, 6,000 people subscribed and it was read 14,400 times. Two years later, there are more than 290,000 subscribers and tens of thousands more who read the newsletter.

Last year I wrote to you on our first anniversary, “We started with a simple question: In an era where it’s essential that we take intentional care of our fragile democratic institutions, how do we deal with all of the issues that are competing for our attention?”

A few days later, on June 8 of last year, Donald Trump was indicted, for the first time, by federal prosecutors who charged him in a 40-count indictment alongside Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira. The proverb says, may you live in interesting times. We certainly do.

In his first inaugural address as Governor of California, Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance, it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation.” Joe Biden issued the challenge more directly this week while commemorating D-Day in France, "When we talk about democracy, American democracy, we often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness," he said. "What we don't talk about is how hard it is … The most natural instinct is to walk away — to be selfish, to force our will upon others, to seize power, never give it up. American democracy asks the hardest of things — to believe that we're a part of something bigger than ourselves.”

In the short life of Civil Discourse, we’ve gone from the January 6 hearings, to the first federal indictment of a former president, to his first criminal conviction in state court in New York just over a week ago. It is hard to imagine what the next year will bring or how important it will be for the future of our country.

Thank you for being here with me for all of it. And I get it. I know that many of you are here for the chickens, so I promise they’ll be with us too.

Here’s to another year of Civil Discourse.

We’re in this together,

Joyce
