Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Tonight, we will see Joe Biden and Donald Trump debate for the first time.

What's not up for debate? The monumental turning point we are facing as a nation.

Trump has done incredible damage to our planet, our health, and our democracy. We MUST defeat him this November — but to do that, we urgently need your support.

We're still $16,000 away from reaching our $65,000 goal. With just 48 hours before our deadline, we don't see a gift from you yet. Even $5 can make a difference — could you chip in now to help?

The balance of the Supreme Court. An unabated climate crisis wreaking havoc. Systemic racism and environmental injustice impacting Black, Indigenous, and communities of color. An uncontrolled pandemic that has already claimed more than 200,000 lives across the country.

Donald Trump has made everything worse. He has put his political ambitions ahead of our public health and safety. He's dangerously mismanaging the pandemic, sowing discord, belittling scientists, and putting polluters in charge. We simply can't afford to risk another four years of his destruction.

Joe Biden is the climate leader we need in the White House. He's committed to growing clean energy jobs, slashing greenhouse gas emissions, and prioritizing our health and the health of our planet.

But Trump knows how to galvanize his base. So we need to reach as many voters as possible in battleground states who care about the environment, climate action, and justice — and urge them to return their mail-in ballots or take advantage of early voting in their state as soon as possible. How many voters we mobilize will depend on the support of individuals like you.

Help us defeat Trump and elect environmental champions up and down the ballot. Donate $5 or more to help us stop Trump's assaults on our environment, keep climate at the forefront of the presidential race, and reach millions of voters before Election Day.

Your support right now could make the difference between winning or losing a key district or state — and whether we get four more years of Trump or usher in a new era of environmental champions in Washington.

Please, the stakes are too high. Don't sit this one out.

Sincerely,

Kayla Calkin
Political Director, NRDC Action Fund
