TODAY is RANDAY, a DAY of GIVING and ACTION (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK)

 

Dear friend, What does grassroots mean to you? Today is RANday — our annual day of giving and action. And this year, we’re celebrating grassroots power because it’s only through collective action that we can sustain the fight for a just and livable planet. The more I witness grassroots power in action, the more convinced I become that this is how change happens. Last year, after years of relentless pressure from RAN, our partners, and activists in the streets, Procter & Gamble finally strengthened its forest and human rights policies. That shift didn’t start in a boardroom. It started with everyday people who believed they could win — and did. And right now, corporations and financial institutions are doubling down on climate destruction and human rights abuses. But we know something they don’t: Organized people can beat organized money. Grassroots power can beat corporate power. Just a couple of weeks ago, organizers in multiple cities stood outside stores calling on Oreo’s parent company, Mondelēz, to stop driving deforestation. There were banners, petitions, conversations with customers — and behind every single action was something quieter, but just as powerful: Our Network. And you. That’s what RANday is about: the people behind every investigation, every frontline fight, every action that raises visibility and drives banks and brands to change course. Celebrate RANday with us Today, we’re aiming to raise $20,000 from our Network because thanks to a generous group of donors, every gift made today will be triple matched. Your $25 becomes $75. Your $100 becomes $300. Your gift today drives real impact. And as a small thank-you for showing up, anyone who gives before midnight can opt in to receive an exclusive RANday sticker: a reminder that grassroots power starts with you. Triple-matched support means we can: Pressure banks financing fossil fuel expansion. Hold brands tied to deforestation accountable. Stand with frontline communities fighting for land, rights, and a livable future. We’re not just fighting against corporations, we’re fighting for YOU, to keep forests standing, to keep fossil fuels in the ground, and to defend human rights. And we need you in the fight. If you’ve ever signed a petition, shared a post, or joined an action, today is your moment to show up. Give now — triple your impact! When you give, you’re strengthening a movement that refuses to accept destruction as inevitable and believes a different future is possible. Grassroots means you. And today, together, we’ll prove it.
