Shameless.

Dear MoveOn member,

The historic typhoon that hit the Philippines over the weekend has left nearly 2,000 people dead—and officials fear that the death toll could rise to 10,000.

It’s unlikely that this is just some crazy fluke of the weather. Scientists overwhelmingly say that climate change is fueling more and more extreme weather events like Super Typhoon Haiyan.2 But world governments, including the United States, seem paralyzed to do anything about it. Maybe that’s why an incredible speech is being shared widely on Facebook and other social media sites right now, featuring the Philippines’ chief climate negotiator, Naderev “Yeb” Saño. […]

Two weeks ago, MoveOn members marked the one-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy. Now the people of the Philippines are reeling. We’re all in this together, and the best news is that we have each other’s backs.

Thanks for all you do.

–Anna, Victoria, Maria, Alejandro, and the rest of the team
