Dear NRDC Supporter,

Through the anger and grief all of us at NRDC are feeling, we're focused on the future — and defending our environment from Trump. We are ready to fight back.

Let me be clear: For the next four years, Trump will bring an unrelenting assault on our planet. He has vowed to do even more damage in his second term than his first. So we need your sustained support to fight back in and out of court.

Please make an emergency monthly gift to help us defend our planet from Trump's plans to gut our environmental protections. A generous supporter has agreed to make a $55,000 matching donation if 100 new monthly donors join our fight.

Trump and his allies have made their intentions crystal clear in the Project 2025 Presidential Transition Project:

Dismantle environmental regulations. Drill on our public lands, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Gut the Environmental Protection Agency. Slash clean energy programs. Greenlight polluters' demands.

Trump, backed by the Big Oil billionaires who bankrolled his campaign and received a host of campaign promises in return, is about to target everything from climate science to the Arctic to the air we breathe and the water we drink.

That's why your support is urgently needed to help fight back.

Your monthly gift will provide critical, sustained support as we prepare to fight these attacks head-on like we did during Trump's first term. Give now and it will help unlock an essential $55,000 matching donation.

Make no mistake: NRDC has the experience and is ready to meet this moment.

Thanks to supporters like you, we successfully blocked many of Trump's unrelenting attacks on our environment during his first term. We litigated 163 cases against the first Trump administration, and won a victory in almost 90% of the cases decided.

And now, we're prepared to use our full legal muscle again to block Trump's efforts to roll back progress and to hold Big Oil accountable.

But Trump and his extremist allies have vowed to be more prepared this time. That's why it's so critical to sustain our work now. With your help, NRDC's lawyers and policy experts can be ready for the barrage of attacks we know are coming.

Start a monthly gift today and help NRDC protect our environment on all fronts.

I know you understand just how much we stand to lose.

Over the last four years, we've dramatically accelerated our response to the climate crisis, strengthened wildlife protections, improved air and water standards, and safeguarded cherished wild places.

Future generations are counting on us to defend these gains. Your monthly gift increases our chances of doing just that.

Thanks for responding to this emergency appeal. We deeply appreciate your support.

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna
President, NRDC
