🌟 It’s Giving Tuesday! Donate today to support Climate Cardinals 🌟 🙏🏼 Donate to support the next generation: https://lnkd.in/gi3x7WDg Five years ago, Climate Cardinals began as a small group of recent high school graduates with just $500, a website, and a bold commitment: to make climate education accessible to all. We started by translating climate information for our families, communities, and local NGOs. Soon, UN agencies, governments, and nonprofits began reaching out, and our impact grew. Today, we’re one of the world’s largest youth-led climate organizations, with 16,000 youth leaders, 130 chapters, and programming that has reached over 11 million people globally. Our goal is to be an institutional force for youth-led climate action, because empowering young people is key to tackling the climate crisis. This Giving Tuesday, let’s break barriers, amplify youth voices, and create a future where climate education and action are universal.

And friends, please also join me in choosing action over apathy by making a gift to POW today, to invest in climate and a healthy planet for generations to come. Plus, POW partner KEEN is matching all donations up to $60k for Giving Tuesday, so your impact will be doubled! Climate and sustainability are currently not policy and voting priorities on both sides. POW aims to change that through persuasion rooted in our collective passion for the outdoors. The audience at Protect Our Winters is 40% Democrats, 31% Republicans, and 29% Independents. Your support will help us unite people around the prosperity and opportunity of clean energy for all. Our work in 2025+ will focus on state-level climate action, power-building at the community level, and mobilizing future voters at the margins. At POW, we aim to be a unifying force—turning outdoor passion into clean air, clean water, and sustainable natural places for play. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/e5U62W99

1 + 1 can be so much more than 2. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, every dollar given for these gifts of education is being matched by our generous donors, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the initial gift. These matching gifts not only amplify the impact on children's education, but they also inspire others to join in and spread compassion—creating a powerful cycle of giving that unites us all in the shared mission of uplifting humanity. What starts as a single act of kindness can now reach more children, spark more love, and inspire more change in the lives of vulnerable kids who deserve a bright future. 💖 As the Lunar New Year approaches with exciting deals around every corner, find out more on this one-for-one dollar match initiative for good and how you can be a part of this impactful partnership. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gpVHg_FD

Serving humanity involves reaching out to underprivileged villages, where basic needs often go unmet. By providing access to clean water, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, we can help transform lives and create lasting change. True service means empowering communities with tools and knowledge, fostering self-reliance and dignity. Listening to their needs and collaborating on sustainable solutions builds trust and mutual respect. Whether through volunteering, donating resources, or advocating for social justice, every small action contributes to a greater impact. Reaching out to these forgotten corners of the world reminds us of our shared humanity and the power of compassion. Teach For America Alicia-Ann Caesar, MPA, MBA T.
