Dear NRDC Activist,

Today, the Supreme Court voted to dramatically weaken the
EPA's ability to protect our nation's critical wetlands and clean
water.

The court's decision in Sackett vs the EPA strikes at the
heart of the Clean Water Act, the law we depend on to protect
American lakes, rivers, and wetlands — and ultimately our
drinking water — and marks a major retreat in the nation's
commitment to public health and the environment.

This wrongheaded decision won't stop us from fighting to
save our nation's cherished waterways. But we're up against
well-funded corporate polluters, developers, and agribusinesses
hellbent on protecting their profits, and we desperately need
your support if we're to have any chance of success.

Make an emergency donation now so NRDC can aggressively
pursue every avenue possible to reverse this egregious assault on
clean water and wetlands. All gifts are being matched $1 for $1,
up to $100,000, to help defend our environment on all fronts. ( [link removed] )

The science is clear: wetlands play a central role in the
health of our nation's lakes, rivers, and streams. They're even
vital for protecting clean drinking water. Congress and the
expert agencies understood this, which is why time and again the
courts protected critical wetlands under the Clean Water Act.

But the current SCOTUS majority chose to ignore settled
science to protect polluters at the expense of healthy wetlands
and other waters that contribute to the drinking water supplies
of millions of people.

This anti-environment decision will cause incalculable
harm, with communities across the country forced to pay the
price.

Every moment matters as our team mobilizes on all fronts.
NRDC is putting all options on the table — including any legal
opportunities. But one thing is for certain: we cannot save our
nation's wetlands without your help.

THIS IS URGENT: Donate to help NRDC defend wetlands and our
nation's clean water from greedy developers, the oil and gas
industry, and other polluters. Until May 31, your gift will be
matched, $1-for-$1! ( [link removed] )

Wetlands are immensely valuable to our ecosystems:

* They absorb flood waters and lessen the impact of
droughts.
* They provide critical habitat for endangered species and
countless other birds, mammals, and reptiles.
* They store a massive amount of carbon, helping to safeguard us
from climate catastrophe.
* And they filter pollutants that otherwise would enter our
drinking water.

But with the court's disastrous ruling, polluters will rush
to destroy vital wetlands in the name of profits. Not if we have
anything to say about it.

For decades, our legal team and coast-to-coast army of
advocates and supporters like you have delivered: We've forced
polluters to clean up their toxic mess. We've stopped
anti-environment special interest groups from trashing our air
and water. And we've relentlessly defended imperiled wildlife and
their critical habitats from industry assaults.

Your generous support today means we can continue to fight
just as hard, across multiple courtrooms, to defend wetlands and
our environment on every front.

Please donate now and have your gift 2X matched to defend
wetlands from corporate interests ready to bulldoze, mine, drill,
and pave over these irreplaceable ecosystems. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for your generous support of our work today.

Sincerely,

Jon Devine
