Dear (American Citizens),
Across the country and around the world, people are taking the future into their own hands: they're taking to the streets and saying “enough!” to the status quo. We're here to present an inspiring alternative – and engage Americans in bringing a thriving future to life.
From Palo Alto, CA to Philadelphia, PA, from New York City to cities nationwide, Transitioners have joined Occupy protests. They are leading story-telling and visioning groups, providing information about Transition to protesters, and standing together in solidarity. They are stepping up where this phenomenal change is most visible and providing pathways and next steps for a truly resilient, thriving future.
Will you make a donation now to help Transition US do everything possible to foster change at this historic moment? Your generous contribution will help us build a solid foundation for the world we want to see.
Now is a great time to help – and help us keep the momentum going. Since Transition US was founded just three years ago, 103 Transition Communities have formed -- on islands like Vashon, in Washington State; in boroughs like Media, Pennsylvania; and in cities like Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
There are 54 million Americans who now live in a population center with an active Transition Initiative! Add to that the growing numbers of Americans who live in areas where Transition Initiatives are in formation. Now that’s significant!
This year Transition US is taking a bold step: we're seeking to raise $100,000 by the end of the year, to give this burgeoning movement a big boost at a critical time. Will you make a financial contribution now to support our work, and the work of Transition Communities across the country?
Your help will roll-out inspiring efforts like our new Transition Streets project, where we'll take Transition to clusters of households and improve energy efficiency, reduce transportation miles, increase the quantity of food consumed and grown locally, save water and reduce waste.
Your support will develop advanced training for community leaders and enable them to grow and deepen their Transition efforts locally.
And your contribution will help us develop robust models for Energy Descent Action Planning: concrete road maps communities across America will use to create a thriving, post-carbon future.
Help us strengthen the power and creative genius of people and communities to make the shift to a thriving, sustainable society. Help us get the Transition Movement into more hearts and hands by making a contribution today.
We've opened the door. Let's bring America through.
Sincerely,
Carolyne, Carl, and the TUS Team
PS – Help us ensure a flourishing future for our children and for generations to come. Thanks for your good work!
