*[Enwl-eng] After Hurricane Helene, many are dead, missing, or cut off from help

[enwl]

                        The scale of the destruction is overwhelming.









                        Climate Change Gave Hurricane Helene Enough Power to 
Wipe Out Entire Communities. The Devastation and Heartbreak Are 
Incomprehensible.

                        Hurricane Helene has wreaked havoc across the 
Southeastern U.S., leaving behind a trail of death, destruction, and 
heartbreak. As of the time of this writing, 128 lives have been lost, 
millions have been left without power, and many are struggling to access 
basic necessities like food and clean water. Communities like Western North 
Carolina are cut off from help; road closures combined with spotty cell 
phone and internet service are trapping people in, and keeping help out.



                        The damage from this storm is unimaginable, and the 
trauma will linger long after the physical rebuilding has begun.



                        This disaster is not just a natural occurrence; 
it’s part of a pattern of extreme weather events brought on by climate 
change. While the U.S. government deploys emergency aid to the area, the 
irony is that it is complicit in the harm done. By continuing to subsidize, 
invest in, and support fossil fuels, U.S. leaders and policymakers are 
putting us all in grave danger of more disasters like this one.



                        We demand better. Let Hurricane Helene be the end of 
our government's strange alliance with that which is hurting us. Let the 
victims of this tragedy heal knowing that U.S. politicians and lawmakers are 
doing everything they can to stop climate change. Sign the petition and 
demand the United States government immediately stop investing in fossil 
fuels, and start investing in a safe, beautiful future.




                 Thank you,

                        Lauren

                        P.S. The Southeastern U.S. is reeling after 
Hurricane Helene. But as our government sends aid, it also continues to 
support fossil fuels, which played a role in this extreme weather event. 
Sign for a cleaner, safer future.
