Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Earth Day is two days away, and the entire country is suffering from an unprecedented public health crisis. But what is the Trump administration doing?

Meeting with oil and gas executives to discuss siphoning off COVID-19 relief funds to prop up their industries...

Rolling back enforcement of environmental laws and gutting vehicle pollution rules, giving a green light to fossil fuel companies to pollute without penalty or accountability...

Failing to tighten regulations on toxic soot emissions, which scientists have linked to higher COVID-19 death rates...

And weakening safeguards to reduce mercury, lead, and other toxic air pollutants from power plants — a rollback that will increase the risk of asthma, brain damage, and cancer.

We cannot allow another four years of attacks like this. Right now, we must stay laser-focused on one goal — removing President Trump and his allies in Congress from office on Election Day.

Give now in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, and be one of the 1,500 donors we need to unlock $50,000 in critical funds to fuel our advocacy and electoral work now through November.

Since day one, Trump and his pro-polluter allies have gutted environmental protections and stifled scientific views that inconvenience their corporate agendas — and Americans have been paying the price.

His rollbacks are making our air and water more polluted. His attacks on climate science and obsession with fossil fuels are leading us closer and closer to an irreversible climate catastrophe.

And right now, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, his actions are further threatening our health and safety — and even our lives.

The administration's fatal decision to ignore the scientists and experts who warned of the seriousness of this crisis is more proof that each day Trump sits in the White House, the more urgent the threat to our future grows.

I know you're outraged. I'm outraged, too. So, on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, let's channel our outrage into action. Make a gift right now and help unlock $50,000 in critical funds to fuel our fight to win in November.

You and I both know we need a leader who listens to experts, who will prioritize public health, who will take bold action to save our climate, and who will address the most urgent threats to our planet. On November 3, we get to vote for one — but we need to do our part to get there.

This Earth Day, the best gift that we can give the planet and its people is a president and an administration who will protect it. Thanks to a generous donor, if 1,500 donors chip in before midnight on Earth Day, we will unlock an extra $50,000 to ramp up targeted voter outreach, mobilize grassroots activists, and help turn out pro-environment voters during the election. Make your special Earth Day gift now.

Enough is enough. Let's make this Earth Day the beginning of the end of Trump's disastrous presidency. With you standing with us, I know we can win.

Sincerely,

Kevin S. Curtis
