Hi John,
The Center for Biological Diversity is facing the most serious threats we've ever seen from Washington, DC.
First there were credible accounts of an executive order coming after us.
Then there was a report from a far-right think tank that put the Center on a list of organizations it sees as enemies.
We need all our allies with us. Please give now so that we can defend ourselves against these attacks. Thanks to generous champions of the wild, your gift today will be matched.
At a White House roundtable, Trump encouraged his agencies to investigate the list of organizations mentioned in the report.
The administration is demonizing us for a simple reason: We get in its way when it tries to destroy public lands and wildlife. We've sued Trump every five days since January, and we have no plans to stop.
History tells us we need to be ready for a worst-case scenario.
This administration is dead set on its drilling, mining, and logging agenda. From day one it took aim at laws protecting wild places and endangered species. It wants to plunder public lands from coast to coast and sell off the wild.
It even considered taking away the Center's nonprofit status — weaponizing the IRS against us and others who advocate for the wild.
From our founding we've been uncompromising in our defense of the natural world. But we also push back on attacks aimed at us.
While it's undeniably scary to be near the top tier of Trump's enemies list, we're prepared to withstand the assault.
We'll stand up for ourselves and for the many others who are unable to fight back — especially imperiled wildlife — against threats from the powerful.
I know we'll prevail against these political attacks, as we have in the past, but we need you with us.
Because threats to wildlife are ongoing, we need you for the long haul. Please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense.
For the wild,
|
