"We hope you were able to spend time this Earth Day centering our planet and making stewardship contributions you found meaningful. We especially hope that you were able to nourish your connection with our shared home. Maybe even accomplishing the rare gift of a quiet moment out in nature to secret away for yourself, replenish your well, and strengthen your commitment to environmental protection, climate justice, and climate change mitigation. Every tree branch, web, circulatory system, estuary, and family tree (both biological and self-curated) upon Earth’s surface testifies to our interconnectedness and reflects back to us the undeniable truth of our interdependence. We must take care of each other and our planet if we want to survive and thrive.
Folks who are temporarily shot off into space to explore and collect data for continued scientific study, or just for super expensive funs-ies, all testify to our planet’s breathtaking beauty. Just as all space exploration thus far has testified to its rarity and all earth studies testify to the importance of mindfulness and balance. If we’re to change the way we relate to our planet as stewards and collectively show up differently, we need to make some big course corrections. Not just personal ones, but societal changes and collective actions. Changes that will eventually accomplish our goals if we stay the course.
Scientifically speaking, as revealed in recent studies, providing decent lives for everyone while still reaching climate goals is well within our grasp. As we conspire to change our world for the better, we believe some shared philosophical adjustments will help undergird those efforts."

"As the Earth reflects with a myriad of representations, always remember our interconnectedness and the intersectionality of our struggles. In May of 2024 our loudest shared call was for an end to genocide and apartheid in Palestine and an arms embargo against Israel. We renew our call for international justice, and demand an end to the forced starvation of Palestinians. Aid must be allowed in to avoid more senseless loss of life. Now as the international court calls upon us all to execute their arrest warrants and apprehend the perpetrators of genocide, that call has only gained more urgency and grown into a dire MAYDAY from the Palestinian people to the rest if the world. We must answer the call. This genocide must be ended, NOW. Yesterday we failed them, but each new dawn we fight anew until Palestine is free. We stand against continued genocide, apartheid, displacement, and forced labor in solidarity with the people of Palestine, Congo, and Sudan. Even though the illegal antics of this new administration must now also be resisted, we will never stop fighting for human rights nor abandon our demands for justice and self-determination for all oppressed peoples throughout the world.
Injustice anywhere is an affront to justice everywhere, and we cannot allow these injustices to stand unopposed.
As we recognize May Day let’s reflect back on the promises of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness long-denied and lock in on our shared goals. Please continue to protest safely, build community quietly, resist our oppressors forcefully, and defend one another unfailingly. We urge you to participate in the May Day actions that move your spirit, and loudly reject the heartless billionaire takeover of our nation.
A better world is possible, and we’ll build it together, for each other."
In Solidarity and Hope,
Unite Against Evil
