Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,
I'm just leaving Denver, where yesterday hundreds of people turned out to a rally opposing President Trump's latest disastrous anti-environmental attack — this time on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
I cannot overstate the importance of NEPA, a crucial environmental law that empowers Americans to speak out against federal projects that would increase pollution, worsen climate change, or harm our health. We can't let Trump roll NEPA back.
Earlier in the day, NRDC experts and dozens of other concerned citizens testified at a public hearing to share how their communities and the country will be affected if Trump's reckless plan moves forward.
You don't have to live in Denver to make a difference in this fight. The Trump administration is accepting public comments on its plan to kill NEPA — and we need as many people as possible to speak out.
This is an existential fight for environmental justice, democracy, clean air and water, and our planet — and we need YOU standing with us. Please, make your voice heard in support of NEPA right away!
NRDC activists rallying in support of NEPA The Denver hearing was just one of two public meetings that Trump's Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) will hold on their NEPA rollback plan before it's finalized — the second is happening in Washington, D.C. on February 25.
But in the meantime, the NRDC Action Fund and our partners are working together to generate a million public comments in support of NEPA, and we need all hands on deck for this campaign. Can we count on you to submit a public comment and then share this petition with your friends and family?
Thanks for standing with us at this critical moment.
Sincerely,
Megan Friend
Digital Campaigner, NRDC Action Fund

Dear NRDC Action Fund Supporter,
We live in a democracy, not a dictatorship.
But right now, the Trump administration is undermining the democratic process by trying to block the public — people like you and me and our neighbors — from having a say in big projects that could harm our environment, our climate, and our health.
Last week, he proposed new rules to weaken the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a landmark law that empowers Americans to have a voice against the destructive influence of polluters and hazardous projects like oil and gas pipelines and other fossil fuel development in their communities.
Ironically, the administration is required to take public comments on their misguided efforts to roll back NEPA and silence the public — and we need you to stand with us and speak out.
, this is urgent. Submit an official public comment rejecting Trump's disastrous attempt to silence Americans on climate change.
Any careful carpenter knows you measure twice and cut once ... and that's the idea behind NEPA: Consider the impacts before bulldozing a homeowner's land for a pipeline or building a highway in a flood zone.
Trump‘s reckless proposal wants to skip the measuring and begin building — without considering the impacts these projects would have on our climate, environment, and health.
Anti-environment projects disproportionally impact communities of color and low-income communities, which are often the very first voices to be silenced.
Americans deserve to have their voices heard before their families' health and well-being are put at risk by projects that bring unwanted and unnecessary pollution and disruption into their communities.
Don't let the Trump administration take away our right to speak out against oil pipelines and other reckless projects. Submit an official public comment today and help protect our air, water, and climate.
Polluters have been trying to block public participation in these reviews since NEPA was signed into law 50 years ago. They finally found a friend in the White House.
Make no mistake: if the administration tries to implement this dangerous NEPA rollback, our partner organization NRDC will almost surely challenge them in court.
At the same time, this disastrous rollback reinforces the need to get Trump and his pro-polluter allies out of office this November. And the NRDC Action Fund is working hard to do exactly that.
But the most important thing we can do right now is rally a massive public outcry by generating hundreds of thousands of comments in opposition to the Trump administration's move.
, this is an existential fight for environmental justice and democracy, and to preserve our planet for future generations. We need you standing with us.
Sincerely,
Gina McCarthy
President, NRDC Action Fund
