Today is Earth Day, and right now, you have the chance to make a powerful difference in the fight for our planet and our future. But our rare match opportunity is expiring soon, and we haven’t heard from you yet. 

Everywhere we look, vital ecosystems are struggling under the burden of massive pollution, and greedy corporations are largely to blame. But from doubling down on fossil fuel extraction to ramping up production on single-use plastics, these mega-polluters continue to put short-term profits over the health of our planet and its inhabitants. We can’t stand aside and allow corporate greed to destroy the fragile ecosystems that sustain us.

As part of the world’s largest grassroots environmental network, Friends of the Earth is fighting back for a just and sustainable world right here and right now. That’s why today only, a group of generous donors will match every gift – dollar for dollar – up to our $180,000 Earth Day goal and only until midnight tonight. But we need your help to make the most of this once-in-a-year opportunity, so we pulled your supporter record, and here’s what we found: 

With time running our for our planet, we just can’t afford to miss this goal. Every dollar has a role to play in our fight to stop Big Polluters and to protect our only Earth in our lifetime and for future generations. But our rare Earth Day match expires at midnight tonight, and we’re still falling short of our goal. That’s why we’re counting on your gift to come through now before it’s too late.  

We plan for every dollar in our fight against greedy corporations, so we can protect our public lands from being stripped and gouged for profit and keep toxic pollution out of our essential waterways. It's the only way to protect vital habitats for threatened species – from our majestic wolves to our hardworking bees – that have crucial roles to play in sustaining the health of our planet. 

Our ecosystems, from our wilderness to our farm fields, depend on the action we take now. The stakes are too high to stand aside, and we can’t keep fighting without you. So please, don’t waste this opportunity today: Rush your membership contribution of $27 or more now – before our Earth Day match expires at midnight – to DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT in the fight for our only Earth.

Thank you for your urgent support, 

Erich Pica
President
