HELP ME REACH MY FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $1065.27!

My name's chris. I'm a climate justice organizer living in Buenos Aires. On December 3, I'm heading to Lima, Peru to help amplify voices for climate justice during the COP20 United Nations climate negotiations.

Inside the negotiations, world leaders might be selling out our climate and our communities. But outside, social movements from across Latin America and around the planet will be creating the new world that we need. I need YOUR generous support to help make sure the whole world is watching.

WILL YOU DONATE TO HELP ME REACH MY FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $1065.27?

With your support I'll be able to dig into organizing in Lima, help bridge the divide between North and South America climate justice movements and broadcast the most powerful stories around the world.

Besides being generally helpful, I will be blogging, sending email blasts, and sharing stories through social media for Rising Tide North America. I will also organize with key contacts to ensure coordinated efforts get the most powerful alternative voices out to the world. Together we can ensure that political elites don't dominate the narrative as they negotiate away our future and that people's voices, and solutions are the real story of lima.

But I can't do it without YOU! Please donate to my project to help ensure its success and the longterm success of grassroots climate justice organizing!

My fundraising goal is $1065.27. Here's the breakdown of costs.

• Airfare -  $563.27
• Other transportation - $140
• Hostel for 9 nights - $162
• Food - $100
• Prepaid cell service with voice, text and data for real time communication - $50
• Printing Rising Tide pamphlets on Climate Justice. - $50

Any left over costs will go towards my stretch goals. If possible, help me reach my stretch goal of $1,815.27 in order to support others doing awesome climate justice organizing and pave the way for future organizing.

• $500 to help the Caravana Climatica cover costs. They traveled from Northern Mexico to Peru stopping to support and document climate justice fights all along the way.
• $50 for extra printing.
• $200 to help pay rent. As a freelancer, I took considerable time away from paid work for this project. Help me out so I can take on more self organized projects in the future!
