| Dear Friend, |
| In the 23 years I have worked at Earthjustice, I have never felt powerless. With 200 lawyers, 1,000 clients, and you by my side, I feel the strength we wield through the power of the courts and through your support. Thank you. |
| We are at a crucial point in history, understanding that our planet, our species, and all the species around us are in peril. Every day we witness the destruction wrought by our adversaries — corporate polluters and the politicians who enable them — who derive their power from enormous profits. |
| But as a nonprofit organization, Earthjustice’s power comes from a place much deeper than profit: Our power lies with you. |
| Thousands of people have showed up in support of our mission this week, and for that I am so grateful. But we are still short of our goal. Please, friend, if you are able, donate today. Your gift will be matched $2:$1 — only if you give today. |

| Earthjustice has won more than 1,000 court cases in defense of our planet. We win in part because science and facts are on our side, but those facts would mean nothing without the backing of our partners and the thousands of impassioned individuals, like you, who have joined us to make real change in our world. |
| We build our power together by sharing what we have to offer — our time, our expertise, our money, our passion. |
| Today, I am asking you to share what you can to keep our power strong. If 500 people donate in response to this email, we can reach our goal and grow to meet this moment. There’s no time to lose: Make a donation before midnight, and your gift will be matched $2:$1. |
| We have seen so much progress since the Senate passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the single biggest climate investment in this country’s history, 15 months ago. It has given us a real chance to avert the worst of the climate crisis, making an equitable and just clean energy future a reality — and our team is ensuring the promise of the IRA’s investments is felt in communities across the country. |
| That’s where Earthjustice, and you, come in. |
| We are holding fossil fuel companies and the governments that approve their expansion accountable. We combat Trojan Horse solutions like carbon capture and “blue hydrogen,” ideas promoted by these powerful industries that sound green but actually increase fossil fuel consumption and their profits. We are on the ground in communities across the country fighting the IRA’s permitting tradeoffs and fulfilling its promise to accelerate the transition to clean energy. |
| Our fight — the fight for environmental protection and justice — impacts every single one of us. We depend on our supporters to help us show our adversaries that their billions in profits are nothing compared to the power of our movement and our love of this earth. Don’t delay — donate now. |
