Friend, here's the hard truth:

• Big Oil is poisoning our air. The pollutants released by oil and gas operations are causing serious health issues, from asthma to heart disease.
• Our water is at risk. Drilling operations contaminate vital water supplies, putting our families in danger.
• The drilling push continues. With Trump's administration coming in, the expansion of drilling on public lands and offshore waters is moving full speed ahead—threatening everything we've worked so hard to protect.

Donald Trump is pushing to expand fossil fuel production and cut clean energy subsidies, with an oil executive, Chris Wright, nominated to lead the Department of Energy and a key ally of Big Oil from North Dakota, Doug Burgum nominated as Interior Secretary and "Energy Czar." These people and policies will only worsen the climate crisis, harm our health, and jeopardize our future.

Our work to protect the environment is more important than ever.

For a limited time, we have a rare opportunity to DOUBLE the impact of your donation, dollar for dollar, up to $200,000! Every $1 you contribute will become $2, helping us fight back twice as hard against policies that threaten our environment and communities. But hurry—this match is only available until Tuesday at midnight.

Your gift today will help us:

• Stop the construction of dangerous pipelines for fracked gas and oil that escalate climate change and increase extreme weather events like wildfires, hurricanes, and floods.
• Advocate for stronger air and water protections to reduce toxic pollution from fossil fuels that harms our families' health and causes respiratory issues, cancer, and pregnancy complications.
• Push for a clean energy future by supporting policies that transition us away from fossil fuels to renewable sources like wind and solar, helping to slow global warming and protect our planet.

Together, we can stop Big Oil and secure a cleaner, healthier future. But we can't do it without you. We've raised just $34,107 of our $200,000 matching gift challenge goal. Will you help us reach our target before the end of Giving Tuesday and unlock $400,000 to fuel our fight on Capitol Hill, in state and local legislation, and beyond?

Thank you for being a part of this fight.
