Climate Crisis Heavyweights Merging


Two climate crisis powerhouses -- 350.org and 1Sky -- are merging in a strategic decision to unite in their fight against the fossil fuel industry. The new organization will be rebranded the NEW 350.org. Here is an excerpt from today's big announcement:

"For too long, the fossil fuel industry has had its way on the climate issue--its money has overwhelmed the scientific facts, delaying action on the largest challenge humanity now faces.

Right now, the the Clean Air Act is being threatened, the EPA is under attack, and big polluters are mounting an all-out onslaught that threatens to destroy our lands and scorch our planet. In short, we are losing ground.

In the face of these challenges, one thing is clear: if we want to win, we will have to come together like we never have before.

That’s why we at 350.org and 1Sky have important news to share: starting today, our organizations are officially merging. We’ll be called 350.org, and together we’ll be smarter, bolder, faster, and more creative than we were before."
