DEAR FRIENDS,

This morning I woke up knowing the world prioritizes economic gain over safety. Today I hope you woke up and didn’t have that feeling. However, I am afraid that this won’t be true, that these materialistic ideals and selfish practices will still be prioritized. I fear the economy and personal gain will take a president over health, over ethics, over the environment. I promise to fight for what I know is right, so that you may live a better life. I promise to advocate, to never give up, never stop fighting; as long as you do the same. Climate change won’t go away until we do something about it. Climate change, for the safety of you, and for people to come, needs to be the number one priority.

To our future generations,

I want you to know that some of us do care and we are working towards a better future for you.

This is for the countless children I already see suffering the impact of climate change around the world, and the generations to follow.

To my children,

If there is one thing that I taught you it is to be honest in your decisions as they pertain to yourselves and the earth in which you live.

Dear Llewyn, beloved grandson …

I can only say that I devoted myself to doing as much as I could to make it better, to provide for a just transition, and to fight those forces that continued to exploit the Eaarth with extractive methods, methods that always also included oppressing some people–because those doing the oppression believed that they were better and deserved more.
