| Dear Friend, |
| I won’t sugarcoat it: If the Trump administration has their way, the consequences for our environment and our planet will be devastating and irreversible. |
| Earthjustice is prepared to fight the Trump administration with hundreds of lawsuits — whatever is necessary — to protect communities from deadly pollution and toxic chemicals, defend endangered wildlife and cherished places, and save our planet from a climate catastrophe. |
| Last time around? We filed more than 200 cases in response to the Trump administration's policies. We won 85% of the decisions. |
| Our 200+ attorneys represent this country’s strongest and most effective legal force protecting the environment. Please donate today to help us fight the Trump administration, and your donation will be matched $1:$1 by our Rapid Response Legal Fund. |
| ABOUT THE RAPID RESPONSE LEGAL FUND |
| A group of Earthjustice supporters has come together to create the Rapid Response Legal Fund, which will match your donation $1:$1. The next four years are a critical juncture for our planet and the future of life itself, so we need to be prepared to fight. |

| We are prepared to fight the Trump administration and win, but we can only do so much with limited resources. With your support, we can redouble our efforts and hold the line against his lawless administration. |
| Our attorneys have been preparing for this outcome for months. Here are a few top priorities: |
- Defending endangered species: The Trump administration went after Yellowstone grizzlies and countless other species protected by the Endangered Species Act. Earthjustice took them to court and won, sparing the grizzlies from planned trophy hunts. Our Biodiversity Defense Team is even stronger and better staffed now than we were eight years ago, and we will not let them roll back our progress.
- Protecting national monuments: When the Trump administration gutted Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in Utah, Earthjustice successfully sued to restore their protections. We also helped defend the monuments from a later legal challenge by the state of Utah that attacked the Antiquities Act itself. We will continue to fight to protect the wild spaces we love from the Trump administration’s unbridled support of new fossil fuel development.
- Fighting Fossil Fuel Development: The Trump administration will attempt to accelerate fossil fuel development across the country, even as scientists warn we only have a few years left to change the trajectory of the climate crisis. We will curb fossil fuel expansion in key regions like the Gulf and the Arctic, while continuing to spearhead clean energy wins at the state level.

| Friend, we don’t need to tell you that we are at a critical point in our country’s and our planet’s history. Your financial support will allow us to fight back against this administration using the power of the courts — defending the wild spaces we love, the communities that need our protection, and the future of life itself. |
| Please donate today to help us fight the Trump administration, and your impact will be doubled by our Rapid Response Legal Fund. |

| Thank you for your ongoing partnership. |

Sincerely,
The Team at Earthjustice |
