Our planet is on the brink because of corporate greed.
These are global problems that require a global solution. Greenpeace’s mission is to be part of that solution and we have plans to address each of these problems. And as a global organization that doesn’t take a dime from corporations or governments, we are well positioned to make it happen. But we can’t do it without your support.
Now is the time. Make your first gift to Greenpeace and become a member for 2012.
We have already surpassed our initial goal of getting 2,012 people to become a member online by February 29th. Now help us hit our new goal of 2,500. We only need 7 people fromWashington to make it happen!
Thanks in advance for your support. It’s going to be a great year.
Sincerely,
Philip Radford Greenpeace USA Executive Director

Since I announced my jobs plan last week, people from across the state have been expressing their support for our commonsense approach to job creation — an approach that will create good-paying, middle-class jobs for all kinds of workers in every corner of our state. They know, like I do, that building a working Washington requires us to identify industries where we can or do out-compete the rest of the world. And by focusing on building up those industries, we CAN out-compete the world. No place is better suited to pursue a bold, innovative, and forward-thinking approach than Washington state. We’ve put together a short video with some of our favorite moments from last week’s events, and I wanted to share it with you. Do you have couple minutes to watch it? This is the first of several proposals we’ll be releasing over the coming months. It means a lot to know that you’re with us as we start the discussion about the key policies we will enact during my administration. I hope you’ll take a minute to watch our video and read my plan now, and then share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. Thank you so much for your continued support. Very truly yours, |

Help Greenpeace protect Sumatran tigers and the rainforest they call home by making your first gift to Greenpeace today.![]() www.greenpeaceusa.org |
Last year was an amazing one for our campaign to protect the world’s 400 remaining Sumatran tigers and the Indonesian rainforest they call home.
There seemed to be a new victory to celebrate every month. And while I couldn’t be prouder of the work we did together in 2011, I know that if we want to continue to protect Sumatran tigers and achieve our global target of zero deforestation by 2020 that this year has to be even better. That can only happen with your support.
Now is the time. Make your first gift and join Greenpeace and help us protect Sumatran tigers and the Indonesian rainforest. www.GreenPeaceUsa.org
Our goal is to get 2,012 people to make their first gift to Greenpeace by the end of February. We’re already over half way there, but we still need 17 people from Washington to make it happen!
Greenpeace is completely independent. The work we do is supported entirely by the generosity and convictions of people like you. We don’t take money from corporations or governments, which means our campaigns are only concerned about what is necessary to protect the planet.
We have big plans for this year. Calling out forest criminals, exposing the corporate greed that is driving deforestation and continuing our work on the ground in Indonesia. Your support will make this work possible.
Help make 2012 the best year yet for our forests campaign and all of the work we do to protect the planet by making your first gift and joining Greenpeace today.
Thank you,
Philip Radford Greenpeace USA Executive Director
P.S. We need just 17 people from Washington to reach our goal of 2,012 first time gifts by February 29th. Donate online or at 1-800-722-6995 today.
