John, massive wildfires in Alberta, Canada brought early-season smoke to the West last month. And this week, fires in Québec, Canada brought smoke season — with its eerie orange skies — to the East, where millions of people breathed unhealthy air.

This can’t be our new normal. That’s why we’ve set a goal to raise $500,000 from our online community this summer. Thanks to a $2-for-$1 match from two long-time EDF donors, your donation will triple your power to build a safer climate future and help us unlock $1 million in matching funds. Donate here:

Wildfire smoke has been linked to a range of negative health outcomes — like asthma, increased rates of heart attacks and even death. Children, pregnant people, and those with heart disease or respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable to wildfire smoke.

Climate change is making wildfires and the resulting smoke more severe and widespread. We must take meaningful climate action now to protect our health and communities.

Your support will go directly to stabilizing the climate, protecting our health and strengthening the ability of people and nature to thrive. Donate today and help put the brakes on climate change’s increasingly deadly effects.

To stay on pace for our goal, we’ll need to reach $150,000 by June 30 — just three weeks from today. Will you be one of the first to chip in by donating to EDF now?

Your support will have triple the impact and be put to use to:

# Protect our health and ensure the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat and products we use are as safe as possible; and
# Strengthen the ability of people and nature to thrive by protecting wildlife and valuable ecosystems — like forests, wetlands, and barrier islands — that can buffer damage from climate threats; and
# Stabilize our climate by slashing climate pollution, accelerating our transition to electric vehicles and modernizing our electric grid to make it cleaner and more reliable.

It's become a sad reality that almost everyone in the world today experiences extreme weather — like wildfires — just one of many ways that climate change threatens our future. But there is hope — and my hope is that you’ll donate to our Summer Match campaign today, so we can make our shared dream of a safer climate future a shared reality.

Thank you for everything you do,

Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership
