| Dear Friend, |
| Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States. |
| We know this is a profoundly disheartening moment. But despair is not an option. |
| We’ve seen what a Trump administration is capable of, and we know that he will be more prepared this time around. |
| So will we. Earthjustice is bigger and stronger than we were in January 2017, and we are ready to fight back. We took the threat of Trump’s Project 2025 plan at its word, and we crafted a blueprint of our own. We have over 200 lawyers poised to take Trump to court, and we are already executing our state-based strategy to ensure that he does not block progress in the last years we have left to meet our climate deadlines. |
| Earthjustice won a staggering 85% of the cases we brought against the previous Trump administration. We’ve proven we can win despite his lawlessness, but we can’t defend against the scale of attacks that are coming and still drive forward progress without your help. We’ve put together a Rapid Response Legal Fund that will help us take on the challenges ahead. Give today and your gift will be matched $1-for-$1 up to $25,000. |

| Here’s what we know for sure: We will fight the Trump administration on every front. With you by our side, we must and we will: |
- Defend fair courts and preserve the rule of law. Trump will try to stack the bench with judges who want to dismantle government oversight and the protections that it provides for clean air, water, and climate.
- Defend our right to live free from toxic chemicals and deadly pollution. After decades of litigation, the Biden administration took long overdue action to force the chemical industry and other polluters to clean up. These protections will dramatically reduce cancer risk and asthma and save tens of thousands of lives every year, but we know they will be a prime target for the next Trump administration.
- Defend climate progress and a new clean economy. Over the last four years, we have made historic progress ramping up clean energy, investing in new clean industries, and helping communities withstand the dangers of our new climate reality. Trump has pledged to roll back all of this progress.
- Protect our web of life. We are facing mass extinctions of wildlife, water scarcity, and ecosystem collapse, and Trump wants to gut our bedrock laws and clear the way for lawless extraction and development of every kind.
|
| Donald Trump has promised an all-out assault on our health, our safety, and our future. He will break the law over and over again but he won’t succeed if we fight back together. |
| Donate now and your matched gift will not only fight back against the threats from President-elect Trump but also champion a cleaner, healthier planet for all. |
|
|
| As always, I am so incredibly grateful for your partnership. |

Onward,
Abigail Dillen,
Earthjustice President |
