| Dear Friend, |
| Today, we filed a lawsuit to protect threatened grizzly bears in Montana’s Bitterroot National Forest from unlimited motorized access and roadbuilding in crucial habitat. |
| Grizzly bears are making a historic comeback in the lower 48 states — helped along by our fierce litigation to maintain their Endangered Species Act protections and defend them from hunting, trapping, habitat fragmentation, and other manmade threats. |
| Right now, that recovery is under threat. |
| I’m an Earthjustice attorney, and I am grateful that I can fight back to protect grizzlies and countless other species because people like you donate on Giving Tuesday to support our work. |
| Today’s $3:$1 match is our biggest of the year. Please quadruple your impact with a donation and help us defend the wild spaces we love, the imperiled species that need protection, and the future of the planet. |

| Grizzly bears, bull trout, and other wildlife in America face challenging times. |
| The first Trump administration tried to remove Endangered Species Act protections from the Yellowstone-region grizzly population, opening it up to trophy hunting. |
| Earthjustice sued and won back the bears’ federal protections, stopping a trophy hunt mere hours before it was to start. Now, under pressure from hostile state politicians, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service is considering removing Endangered Species Act protections for grizzly bears yet again. But we’ve been here before and we won’t back down. |
| As the second Trump administration comes into power, there will be even more threats to endangered species by an administration bent on enriching corporations at the expense of our environment. We need your support to fight back. |
| Every dollar you give today will be matched $3:$1 to quadruple your impact — it’s our biggest match of the year. |
| Donate today to help us reach our $360,000 Giving Tuesday online fundraising goal, and you will be helping me, my team, and the rest of the 200+ attorneys at Earthjustice fight for endangered species, clean air and water, and a future on planet Earth. |

| Thank you for your ongoing partnership. |
