My role at Earthjustice gives me the unique opportunity to get to know the people who support our work, and I’m continuously inspired by your generosity. Time and again our online community shows up to help us take on critical courtroom battles—chipping in whatever you can because, like us, you want to make the world a better place.

Right now, millions of people are feeling the effects of the massive storms, flooding and fires of the last few weeks—painful reminders that climate change is real and is already wreaking destruction on communities around the world. We partner with groups across many of the affected regions who, despite their personal grief and loss, are working on the frontlines to support their communities. That’s why I’m asking you, the dedicated Earthjustice community, to consider supporting some of our allies in their work to provide relief for the people directly affected by these disasters.

As recovery efforts continue from the hurricanes, floods and fires in the U.S. and Caribbean, we will keep this blog post updated with more opportunities to help.
