Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,
Robert Kennedy, Jr. is not the environmental candidate in the upcoming election — and his candidacy strengthens the possibility of Donald Trump winning a second term.
His anti-science conspiracy theories, refusal to support critical key climate actions, and a willingness to surround himself with climate deniers and Trump supporters represent a threat to climate action at this key juncture in the effort to avert the worst impacts of the crisis.
The only true environmental candidate running for president in November is Joe Biden. Kennedy's spoiler candidacy will only help Trump get elected, who stands on a record making him the worst president in history on the environment.
That's the message of a powerful community of RFK, Jr.'s former environmental colleagues, who released a public letter on Earth Day calling on him to drop out of the presidential race.
And we at the NRDC Action Fund are asking you to join with them.
Read the powerful public letter to Robert Kennedy, Jr. — then, add your name urging Kennedy to suspend his presidential campaign.
To spread the word, the NRDC Action Fund is running ads in battleground states across the country sharing this important open letter.
RFK, Jr. was a staff attorney at NRDC — and the man running for president today is unrecognizable to his former colleagues who are expressing concerns both about his anti-science positions and the potential that his candidacy could help elect Donald Trump.
The alumni could not just stand by and watch. The threat is too big and the stakes are too high.
So we're asking NRDC Action Fund supporters like you to join in this call for RFK, Jr. to drop out of the race now.
Joe Biden is the real candidate looking out for the environment in this election. He has taken more climate action than any president in American history: The 2022 climate law signed by President Biden, the Inflation Reduction Act, is the biggest federal climate investment in U.S. history, and is already cutting climate emissions.
And just days ago, the Biden administration granted maximum protection to 13 million acres in Alaska's pristine Arctic Reserve, putting people, our climate, and the preservation of our planet over oil industry profits.
If RFK, Jr. is really serious about protecting the planet at this key moment in the effort to stave off the worst impacts of climate change, he cannot open the door to another Trump administration.
Please, stand with us in defense of our environment by endorsing the open letter to RFK, Jr. now.
Sincerely,
Kevin S. Curtis
Executive Director, NRDC Action Fund
