Looking ahead …
Dear friends, we are looking at a difficult and uncertain future in our country. So many people are in danger and so much that we cherish is at risk. At the same time, we see an outpouring of resolve to protect our Earth and everything we hold dear. We at 350 Salem OR are in this struggle for the long haul, continuing to act for climate justice and looking for opportunities to act in solidarity with others who hold fast to the hope for a healthy, just, inclusive and compassionate world. Join us!
“Fifty years from now people will likely look back on this era through the lens of having seen catastrophic climate changes that we cannot even imagine. Our legacy will depend on the level of moral courage we display in this difficult challenge.”
