STAND WITH ME, FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW
We need trust and solidarity to collectively solve the climate and nature crisis we are experiencing.The people who contributed the least to the climate crisis are now suffering its worst impacts.

If you agree with my demands, please sign this letter and add your voice to mine.
