*[Enwl-eng] URGENT: Forcing Canada on climate action

[ENWL]

                        Canada, with its deplorable climate record, could 
get a seat on the UN Security Council -- the vote happens in just two days.

                        Island nations most affected by climate change could 
swing the vote -- and your message today would show the world is standing 
behind them.

            Canada is dumping billions of public money into fossil fuel 
subsidies every year, propping up an industry that is wreaking havoc on our 
climate. And this despite G20 commitments to end these subsidies in the next 
five years.

            Climate chaos disproportionately affects island nations and 
famous climate activist, Greta Thunberg, has raised the call for these 
island nations to use their power, at the UN Security Council vote, to force 
Canada to do better on climate action.

            The vote is this Wednesday and countries are in the final 
moments of making a decision. Your email today could help embolden these 
small nations to stand up to Canada’s dismal climate record and force it to 
stop propping up the destructive fossil fuel industry.

chaos

            In the last two weeks, two very damning reports have come out 
showing that Trudeau is still dumping billions into the oil industry despite 
its G20 commitment to end fossil fuel subsidies by 2025.

            And this in the same year that has seen climate disasters like 
the Australian bush fires and the back-to-back extreme cyclones in India.

            Climate chaos will affect island nations the most -- and they 
have a rare opportunity to leverage their power in the UN Security Council 
vote to show Canada, and the world, that only drastic climate action will 
get their votes.

            By emailing the representatives today, you will show them that 
the world is behind them in standing up to large global powers like Canada 
who are driving climate chaos with their massive public support of the 
fossil fuel industry.

            Send a message of support to Island Nations today.

            All across the world, white people in North and Western 
countries are waking up to the harsh lived realities of BIPOC people living 
under white supremacy. And this racism shows up in climate work too, when 
rich, predominantly white nations like Canada prop up Big Oil companies 
pushing forward climate chaos -- something that predominantly affects 
nations of Black, Brown and Indigenous peoples.

            At SumOfUs we are working to centre the voices of those who are 
most impacted by climate chaos and support their struggle by challenging 
rich, white global powers.

            And I know that, together, we can, and will, support those 
fighting for their lives in the climate catastrophe.
