NRDC is headed to court to protect our oceans from Big Oil...

Hi NRDC
Supporter, I want to
make sure you saw Taryn's email below — it's an important moment
in our fight against Trump's anti-environmental agenda. NRDC just
took the administration to court for the first time this term,
and we need your support.

Please take a moment to read below — and if you can, make a
gift today ( [link removed] ).

Dear NRDC Supporter,

NRDC and our partners just filed our
first lawsuit against the Trump administration. Trump's executive
order to repeal permanent protections from offshore oil drilling
for 625 millions acres of U.S. waters breaks federal law—so we’re
suing.

On Trump's very first day back in office, he
wasted no time making good on campaign promises to his Big Oil
billionaire donors: He signed an executive order that would
illegally open large swaths of the Atlantic, Pacific, eastern
Gulf of Mexico, and Alaska's Beaufort, Bering, and Chukchi Seas
to offshore oil drilling. So our litigation team raced to court
to stop this attack.

This is just the beginning. The Trump
administration is launching a full-scale assault on our
environment — rolling back protections, pushing fossil fuel
expansion, and doing everything in its power to serve corporate
polluter allies.

But NRDC is built for this fight. We've
beaten Trump before, and we know we can do it again.

NRDC's legal team is one of the most
powerful forces for environmental protection in the country. When
the first Trump administration tried this exact move in 2017 —
revoking protections for massive stretches of U.S. waters — we
sued. And we won. The court ruled that the president does not
have the power to unilaterally erase permanent ocean protections.
That victory helped keep Big Oil out of some of our most fragile
marine ecosystems.

Now, we're taking Trump to court again.
And we’re counting on the support of our members to back us up.

Please make a gift today to defend our environment on all fronts
and help NRDC's legal team fight in court to block Trump’s brazen
attempt to auction off our oceans to the highest bidder — for as
long as it takes to win. ( [link removed] )

Trump's executive order is not just a
threat to our coastal waters and the communities and wildlife
that depend on them for survival. It's a massive fossil fuel
giveaway to Big Oil billionaires—one that will have devastating
consequences for marine wildlife, coastal communities, and our
climate.

If Trump succeeds, here's what could
happen next:

* Seismic blasting that threatens whales
and marine life: Already critically endangered species like the
North Atlantic right whale—of which fewer than 350 remain — could
be pushed closer to extinction. Seismic airguns used to search
for oil can deafen whales, disrupt migration, and interfere with
their ability to find food.
* Offshore drilling that pollutes waters and devastates fragile
ecosystems: From the Arctic's Beaufort and Chukchi Seas to
deep-sea coral reefs in the Atlantic, drilling could bring
devastating spills, toxic pollution, and habitat destruction.
Threatened wildlife like polar bears and cherished public lands
like the Arctic Refuge would never recover from an oil
catastrophe.
* More fossil fuel extraction that brings us closer to climate
disaster: Expanding offshore drilling will generate even more
dangerous carbon pollution and accelerate runaway climate change.
We don't need more oil and gas. America is already producing
climate-busting fossil fuels at a record pace. We need to
transition away from dirty energy — now.

This isn’t just about one lawsuit. It's about
defending our oceans, our climate, and our future against the
Trump administration’s entire anti-environmental agenda.

We know what's coming next: more rollbacks, more
fossil fuel handouts, and more legal battles to fight. This
moment is critical for our environment — and so is your support.

This is just the beginning of our legal action to
stop the Trump administration's anti-environmental agenda. Our
oceans, our climate, and our future depend on what we do right
now. I hope you’ll stand with us.

Sincerely,

Taryn Kiekow Heimer
