Dear NRDC Supporter,

Earth Day is tomorrow. And the question we're asking isn't theoretical — it's urgent: Who's protecting the wild places you love?

Because those places — your favorite national parks, the beach you visit every summer, the hiking trails near your home — they're under attack.

New anti-environmental policies are being announced every week. They're designed to hand public lands over to polluters, dismantle bedrock environmental protections that keep our air and water clean, open our oceans to oil drilling, and much more.

The lawyers, scientists, and policy advocates here at NRDC are fighting back in and out of court. But we can't do this work without you.

Will you make a gift today of just $5 or more to help us meet our $100,000 Earth Day goal? Your support will help defend the places we all cherish.

At NRDC, we believe all of our wild places deserve a defender. That's why we're fighting in court to:

• Block new oil drilling in Alaska's Arctic Refuge
• Stop our oceans from being reopened to offshore drilling
• Defend our national monuments from being opened to industry polluters

And we're preparing for more. Because the threats are real — and they're escalating.

But so is our resistance.

Chip in $5 or more now to help protect the places that matter most — to you, to your family, and to your community.

We're aiming to raise $100,000 to fuel this critical work — and supporters from across the country are stepping up.

The places we love are incredibly vulnerable right now. But we are not powerless.

You can count on NRDC to show up. We've done it for more than 50 years — stopping polluters in their tracks, challenging presidential administrations in court, and defending environmental laws that protect this planet — and we've won.

We're built for this fight. And so are you.

With your support today, we can make this Earth Day count. Please help us reach our $100,000 goal by midnight tomorrow.

Let's protect what we love — together.

Sincerely,

Elly Pepper
Director, Forest Policy, NRDC
