Friend, I had to personally reach out to you early, ahead of the Earth Day rush Saturday, and share this important update on our planet-saving work.

No matter what greedy corporations say, or how many millions of dollars they spend on PR and misinformation campaigns, Friends of the Earth is committed to fighting back. Corporate pollution is a choice, and we CAN hold companies accountable for that choice.  

Right now, mega-manufacturing plants are pumping out single-use plastics that end up in our oceans to the tune of two huge garbage trucks per minute. Corporations are aggressively working to expand mining, logging and drilling operations on our public lands. The resulting habitat loss threatens the survival of endangered species – who are now in more danger than EVER. Meanwhile, the climate crisis is worsening from out-of-control fossil fuel greed. 

The fact is this: We don't have to live like this, and our only Earth doesn't have to die like this. We have the power to stop catastrophic outcomes for our planet and all its inhabitants if we fight back together now. And what more powerful moment than Earth Day to take action? 

That’s why this is such heartening news: A generous group of donors is matching every gift for Earth Day up to our goal of $180,000 but only until midnight Saturday. Because you've been such a committed supporter, we created a custom match link you can use to be the first to DOUBLE your Earth Day impact. So please hurry and make your gift for our planet now! Here’s your personal link: 

This goal means so much to our organization and the planet – and we chose you to be part of this select group for early match access because we know you recognize how high the stakes are. When you make your early-bird donation, you'll be ensuring we can mobilize on the ground, keep pressure on legislators and stop the climate crisis before it’s too late.

Matches like this don’t come often, and the stakes for our only Earth have never been higher. That’s why we must seize this opportunity for our planet, friend. With all our futures on the line, getting complacent or giving in to despair is simply not an option. So we’re counting on committed environmentalists like you to set the pace for the rest of our community. 

With time running out, we need to make this Earth Day really count. Please, make your membership gift and be part of the urgent solutions we need to break the grip of corporate greed and protect our planet while we still can. Your personalized Earth Day match access link is right here – donate now to have every dollar doubled:

Thank you,
