Dear John,
The United States now boasts the #1 highest number of COVID-19 cases in the world.
In response, Congress just passed the largest rescue package in American history, but it doesn’t go far enough to help our devastated communities. With your help we blocked the bill from including billions in oil purchases, but unfortunately the bill still secures a colossal $500 BILLION corporate giveaway -- and Big Polluters are in line for a handout.
So Friends of the Earth is in full swing, pushing for further Congressional oversight and legislation. We can’t let polluters cash in on this crisis to worsen their environmental destruction.
We need your support IMMEDIATELY to stop Big Polluters from exploiting emergency COVID-19 funding. Donate $10 to Friends of the Earth today!

Right now, Trump’s polluter buddies are thinking: How can I use this crisis to increase my profits while the public’s attention is elsewhere?
It’s up to us to make sure that doesn’t happen. So we’re quickly monitoring, drawing attention to, and trying to prevent the harmful policies that Big Polluters are trying to sneak in right now.
In addition to bailouts in aid bills, Big Polluters are angling for the government to buy excess oil to boost prices, further subsidize fossil fuel extraction on public lands and waters, and roll back critical safety and environmental protections. And meanwhile, states are easing the way for pipeline construction.
At a time when front-line communities still don’t have ventilators, protective equipment and other critical life-saving resources, this greedy callousness is even worse than usual. More people will die and our planet will suffer -- unless we fight back NOW.
With the help of people just like you, John, we’ve been bold leaders in the fight to ensure our elected officials put people and our planet ahead of corporations. And we’re not stopping now. In fact, it’s more important than ever that we act right away. So we’re ramping up quickly, and we need your help.
Will you rush $10 to Friends of the Earth now so we can keep protecting people and our planet from Trump’s deadly agenda?
