Dear NRDC Activist,
Our nation has lost a force for justice, a relentless defender of
democracy, with the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
And just when you thought the stakes couldn't get any higher in this
election, our foundational environmental laws, including the Clean Air Act
and Clear Water Act, could be in even greater jeopardy.
Senate Republicans are trying to force through a vote to confirm a new
Supreme Court nominee before the end of Trump's term, even though the
election has already begun — many voters across America have already cast
ballots by mail or are waiting in lines at polling places in early voting
states.
We're calling on the Senate to delay that vote until the next president is
in office — and we need every single pro-environment voter to cast their
ballot to make sure that president is not Donald Trump.
[ [link removed] ]Today is National Voter Registration Day, so please take just two
minutes to make sure you're registered to vote. Even if you think you're
registered, check again!
Making sure you're registered to vote is more important than ever. The
fate of the Supreme Court, justice, and our values are hanging in the
balance. We're experiencing unprecedented, devastating fires in the
western United States and extreme storms in the Midwest and Southeast ...
and COVID-19 is still threatening our health and causing widespread
disruptions to our election process.
And the Trump administration and its allies in Congress are doing
everything they can to make voting difficult — especially in Black and
Brown communities that are disproportionately affected by climate change
and health-harming pollution.
So we're asking everyone to double-check, even triple-check, your
registration status today:
[ [link removed] ]Check Your Voter Status
[ [link removed] ]CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION NOW
Checking your registration takes just two minutes, and it's important so
you can vote safely, securely, and as soon as possible. Two minutes now
means making sure that your mail-in ballot is coming to the right address,
or that you can head to your polling place as soon as early voting starts
in your state.
And if you do need to update your registration or request a mail-in
ballot, you can do it with time to spare.
Our health, our climate, and our democracy all depend on your vote to
defeat Trump this year. And now, so does the fate of our country's highest
court, our last line of defense.
In his four years as president, Donald Trump has not only denied climate
change, but taken every opportunity to make it worse, even while
wildfires, extreme heat, and hurricanes cause increasing harm to our
communities.
We MUST fight for a president and a judicial system that will protect our
ability to cut climate pollution, safeguard our air and water, and stand
up for people's health.
That's what's at stake, and we only have 42 more days to make it happen.
[ [link removed] ]Make sure you're registered to vote using our easy tool, and then
forward this email to three people and ask them to confirm their
registrations, too.
Right now, Trump is losing this election — he's down in the polls, the
climate crisis is raging, and he knows that if every eligible
pro-environment voter turns out, he simply doesn't have the numbers to
beat Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The only way he can stay in power is to depress turnout by casting doubt
on the voting process itself.
That's why he's refused to fully fund the U.S. Postal Service in a year
when more people will be voting by mail than ever before, and why the
Republican Party is dumping millions of dollars into voter suppression
efforts.
And it's also why Senate Republicans are trying to force through a new
Supreme Court justice. So we MUST register, turn out in record numbers,
and demand every vote is counted.
[ [link removed] ]Please check your registration now — and spread the word to friends,
family, and anyone else in your life who might need an extra nudge to get
to the polls. Every single vote counts.
Thank you for doing your part, so we can win in November.
Sincerely,
