Support WE-CAN Today

Dear <<First Name>>,

Greetings! I hope this finds you well. In 2021, you were among the people who made all the difference by choosing to support the West Coast Climate Action Network (WE-CAN) in our first year with a donation of $<<Total Donations>>. It is thanks to you and people like you that we have been able to develop and grow. 

Our many volunteers are doing a lot, but we depend on donations to pay our bills, including for our part-time Network Coordinator, Mari Piggott, who keeps the many moving pieces in play.

Can you contribute again, anywhere from $4 to $4,000? Or could you become a monthly donor? Even modest monthly donations help ensure we can sustain our work. WE-CAN is not a charity, so we can’t offer a tax receipt, but we can offer you our gratitude. 

Since last year’s appeal:

  • Our membership has grown to 241 climate action groups and initiatives around BC. We are soon to launch an interactive digital map that will enable people to find every climate action group in BC and learn about their climate initiatives. 

  • We have published 79 weekly issues of WE-CAN News with details of climate actions, news, and solutions; events organized by member groups; grant opportunities; and climate job vacancies.

  • We have started running quarterly Climate Action Provincial Assemblies (CAPA), bringing people from climate groups together to work cooperatively and support each other. The next one will be in January or February 2023.

  • We organized a campaign which helped 146+ climate champions to win election to their local councils or school boards. We plan to offer continued support over the next four years, as they work to bring climate action to their communities.

  • With encouragement from the BC Assembly of First Nations we launched the Indigenous Climate Action Data Quilt Project, to map every Indigenous climate initiative in BC, in partnership with Sharon Marshall, a Metis/Cree entrepreneur who runs www.DigitalDeva.org. You can see the beta-version here.

  • We are about to launch two new initiatives: one to assemble information on training initiatives that climate action groups can benefit from, and where there are gaps, we will find ways to fill them; the other to develop the best ways to help new climate action groups to form.

 

Our volunteers work hard to achieve all this, but we need continued financial support to make it possible. Can you help us with a repeat donation? 

 

With many thanks,

Guy Dauncey
WE-CAN Co-Chair
