NRDC Activist,

I'm here with your final reminder for the bees:

Midnight DEADLINE: The 2x MATCH to help save bees and butterflies expires in just hours! Join me and DOUBLE your impact, up to $100,000, to defend our environment on all fronts. Just $5 is all it takes to make a difference.

Make a Matched Donation

This is a CODE-RED emergency for bees and pollinators. With about 40% of honeybee colonies dying off every year and hundreds of endangered species being pushed to extinction, we've got to restrict toxic bee-killing pesticides NOW.

With your 2x MATCHED donation, you'll:

DOUBLE your impact to keep the smartest scientists on the job tracking the impact of neonics and using it to inform new regulations and policies;
DOUBLE your power to fuel massive grassroots campaigns that will activate ordinary folks who care about the future of our food supply and pollinators being poisoned for profit;
DOUBLE your support for the environment's best legal team at NRDC as they creatively use every legal tactic in the book to protect bees and pollinators from extinction;

You heard that right: just one gift right now will do all that and more to protect bees and pollinators. Pretty great, right? But you can't wait because this 2x MATCH for bees expires in just HOURS.

Hi NRDC Activist,

Ounce for ounce, bees are some of our best friends.

I mean, I'm not sure about you, but none of my friends can make honey ... pollinate $15 billion worth of crops ... or bring 130 different types of fruits, vegetables, and nuts to the table ... all while weighing in at less than a gram.

Now, after all that they've done for us, bees need our help. Super-toxic pesticides called neonics are wiping out pollinators and even pushing some toward extinction.

Today we have a chance to make TWICE the impact to help save them, thanks to a BRAND NEW 2x matching gift offer.

Make a tax-deductible donation of just $5 by August 7 to help save bees, butterflies, and other pollinators from Big Ag's neonic poison and your gift will be DOUBLED, up to $100,000.

The scientists at NRDC tell me we're in a pollinator crisis. We're losing bees, butterflies, and other pollinators at record-breaking levels. It's gotten so bad that beekeepers now lose about 40% of their honeybee colonies every single year.

After hundreds of studies and even one conducted by the pesticide industry themselves, scientists know what's to blame: neonics. Just one corn seed coated with neonics can contain enough toxin to kill a quarter of a million bees!

And it's not just insects. Neonics poison birds and wildlife too. The EPA found that neonics are likely driving 200+ endangered species toward extinction.

But the agrochemical industry rakes in $3 billion a year selling neonics and they are lobbying hard to protect their profits at the expense of these species and ecosystems.

You know bees can't stick up for themselves. It's up to us to take on Big Ag's corporate interests and prevail on the Biden administration to do the right thing.

Are you with me?

Donate by August 7 and your gift will be DOUBLED to power NRDC's work in and out of court to restrict bee-killing pesticides. Even just $5 will make a difference.

The good news is that if we want to stop this neonic onslaught, this could be the turning point for bees if we campaign hard enough.

That's because the EPA is conducting its once-every-fifteen-years (!!) review of neonics.

We need an A-team on our side if we're going to win this fight. And that's exactly how I'd describe the scientists, lawyers, and campaigners at NRDC. From winning in court against corporations to forcing our government to do its job, they know how to win.

And right now, bees and pollinators really could use a win. So how about it?

Make TWICE the impact with a tax-deductible gift to NRDC. Donate just $5 by August 7 and every dollar will DOUBLE up to $100,000.

Being a friend especially means being there when things get rough. And right now, it's really rough for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

I hope you'll choose to be a friend of bees today and make a 2x MATCHED gift of just $5.

Sincerely,

Julia Louis-Dreyfus
