| Dear Friend, |
| In just a few hours, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. |
| The “environmental” priorities for his second term are clear: roll back generational investments in clean energy and a clean new economy, increase oil and gas drilling, and gut regulations that keep our air clear, our water clean, and toxic chemicals out of our bodies. |
| But no one voted for dirty air and water. No one voted for more disease from exposure to toxic chemicals. No one voted for a spiraling climate crisis. |
| With your support, we will hold President Trump and his administration accountable to all the people they’re in office to serve. Give today and your gift will be matched $1:$1 as part of the special Inauguration Match. |

| For 50 years and through 14 presidential administrations, Earthjustice and our partners have dramatically improved the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink. Our lawsuits have brought species back from the cliff of extinction. And as our climate deadlines bear down on us, we are leaders in the essential transition to stop burning coal and gas and bring clean energy on line. |
| One election will not erase those victories. And it won’t deter us. |
| This is our plan to keep making progress over the next four years: |
- Protect families and communities from deadly pollution. We have made significant gains to keep PFAS and other toxic chemicals out of our environment, and we will work tirelessly to preserve that progress.
- Preserve precious ecosystems and biodiversity. We’ve won high-stake battles to protect our ecosystems and the biodiversity they sustain, and we are prepared to do it again.
- Prevent a new oil and gas rush. Now is not the time to double down on climate-warming oil and gas production. We will continue to fight back against new oil and gas development on public lands and waters.
- Protect historic investments in the new clean economy. We will keep up the momentum on a just, equitable clean energy transition that benefits all people.

| No matter what happens over the next four years, one thing is certain: We are ceding no ground in the fight for a safe and stable climate, clean air, clean water, and a thriving web of life. |

Onward,
