Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

There is no challenge we face more dire than climate change — and no opportunity more consequential than the 2020 elections.

We have the chance to defeat President Trump, oust Big Oil's allies in the Senate, maintain the pro-environment majority in the House of Representatives, and set the stage for the bold action we need to confront the climate crisis.

But if we're going to win, we have to get to work right now. First and foremost, make sure that you're ready to vote for action on climate change, and then you need to vote. Voting is our fundamental right and our responsibility.

Make sure you're registered to vote using the NRDC Action Fund's easy tool, then forward this email to three people and ask them to confirm their registrations, too.

No matter which candidate you support for president, it's vital that we turn out as many pro-climate voters as possible in both the primaries and the general election. Here's why: we need to show every candidate, up and down the ballot, that climate advocates vote — and that if they want to win, they must commit to taking bold action on climate change once they're in office.

If you know you're already registered, that's great! You can still have a big impact right now by checking in on your friends, family, and anyone else in your life who might need an extra nudge to register or get to the polls.

Maybe it's your next-door neighbor who just moved in, or your relative who always says they're going to vote but never gets around to doing it. Maybe you know someone turning 18 and is able to vote for the first time! Ensuring that all these people are registered to vote can make or break these elections.

Democracy is not a spectator sport. Winning in 2020 will require a huge grassroots mobilization — and we can't do it without you.

So please, take a moment to confirm you're registered to vote, and then share this email with three people and ask them to check their status, too.

Supporters like you make me hopeful for the future. Your commitment and energy powers this movement — and together, I know that we can take on anything.

We'll be in touch soon with more ways that you can get involved in this all-important election year for our environment, our climate, and our future.

Sincerely,


Gina McCarthy
President, NRDC Action Fund
