Dear Friend of Mother Jones, Happy World Rainforest Day! Today, we celebrate not only the incredible biodiversity and vital importance of our world's rainforests, but also the power that we, as a collective, have to protect these precious ecosystems. And to help us do that, every gift we get until midnight tonight will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to the first $5,000! [Help us raise $5,000 before midnight]( We often hear about the challenges our rainforests face, from the Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia to the Amazon in South America. But today, we’re focusing on the solutions, and the key role YOU play in them. [YOU are the solution to Keep Forests Standing, to preventing the worst of climate chaos.]( How? By pressuring corporations to uphold Indigenous and human rights, to stop the expansion of dangerous fossil fuel projects that often cut through wild and untouched wildlife areas, and to keep forests standing. Each victory we achieve, each policy change by a brand or a bank, sends a positive ripple through the industry and along the supply chain. And it's the incredible public pressure you help create — our people power — that drives these changes. This World Rainforest Day, we celebrate the power of collective action. We celebrate you, {user_data~First Name~Friend}, and everyone in our network who helps move mountains and corporations alike. And we celebrate the frontline and Indigenous communities: the Water Defenders, Land Defenders, the Forest Defenders, those who are at the heart of this fight. Their communities have proven to be the most effective stewards of these ecosystems, and the more we support them, the more we protect the rainforests they defend, our shared climates, and the future of the planet. [Our strength is in numbers]( While we've made progress in this critical mission, our work is far from over. We continue to confront the root causes of threats to our rainforests. We campaign against corporations that endanger these irreplaceable forests, their inhabitants, and the rights of local and Indigenous communities. We trace the money, exposing corporate complicity in global rainforest destruction and human rights violations. As we look to the future, we draw a line in the sand: not another forest cleared, not another community's lands stolen. We uphold the rights of frontline and Indigenous communities who face the most immediate harm. We are committed to keeping forests intact and standing. [And remember, your contribution matters, as a generous donor has committed to double every dollar up to $5,000 in honor of World Rainforest Day. This is your chance to have your support go even further!]( On this World Rainforest Day, we invite you to celebrate the power of collective action with us. Together, we can ensure a future where forests stand tall, biodiversity thrives, and Indigenous rights are respected. For people and planet, Ginger Cassady Executive Director Rainforest Action Network At RAN, we take the “Network” in our name seriously. It is only through your support that we are able to fund major campaigns for the forests, their inhabitants and the natural systems that sustain life.
