Last summer, corrupt former EPA Chief Scott Pruitt pushed through one
of his most aggressive attacks on climate action, a memo to industry
that would have permitted more super-polluting trucks on our highways,
just hours before leaving office in disgrace (thanks to your tireless
advocacy against him).
For Trump's remaining appointees, who are worrying next year
could be their last year in power, we have to expect they'll
also try to make the most of the time they have left, right til the
very end.
And just as we stood ready to leap into action with an immediate legal
challenge to Pruitt's eleventh-hour move, resulting in a court
ruling against Pruitt's memo within days, we plan respond just
as quickly to any illegal moves the Trump administration makes to
weaken environmental protection in 2020.
Our ability to react quickly in a crisis directly depends on the
support of members like you.
By making your 2020 membership contribution now, you'll be
empowering our legal team to prepare as much as possible for the
attacks to come - so when the moment comes, we'll be ready.

could be President Trump's last full year in office.

We're expecting a surge in attacks next year from Trump
appointees, like EPA Chief Wheeler, who will furiously try to
accomplish as much as they can before their time is up.
That's why, although it's only September, we're
already hard at work on our strategic plan to continue protecting and
defending our environment against the biggest Trump administration
threats, including:
* Defeating Trump's watered-down "replacement"
for the historic Clean Power Plan - a fossil fuel industry
giveaway with NO pollution limits, NO deadlines, and NO
enforcement power.
* Fighting for America's wildly successful Clean Car fuel
standards, targeted for repeal by the Trump administration
despite the program's success at not only making our air
cleaner, but saving us money at the pump, too.
* Defending a 2016 EPA rule limiting oil & gas industry methane
emissions - just the latest part of President
Obama's climate legacy to come under attack by the Trump
administration.
* Opposing sweeping changes to the Endangered Species Act that
would make it harder to protect species threatened by climate
change, and harder to support landowners who volunteer their
lands to provide critically-needed habitat.
Our fiscal year ends on September 30 - less than three weeks
from today - so we're making September EDF Membership
Month and asking you to help us close the books in good standing.
We need your help to raise at least $100,000 by September 30 to pay
off the last of our 2019 expenses and start our 2020 fiscal year with
a positive balance sheet.
Thank you for all your advocacy and support this year,
Sam Parry

P.S. While we hold the line against Trump's attacks, finding
ways to make continued progress even in the face of antagonism is more
important than ever. By partnering with farmers and ranchers to
restore monarch butterfly habitat ... supporting indigenous
communities in their fight against deforestation ... and helping
influential companies like Walmart and FedEx become global leaders in
corporate sustainability ... we're showing every day how
much power we still have to make our air and water cleaner, our
climate safer and our ecosystems more resilient. Your
early renewal during our
EDF Membership Month will make even more progress possible in 2020.
