Dear NRDC Activist,

While we didn't wake up this morning with a declared winner in the
presidential election, we knew this outcome was a possibility, and we are
prepared to be patient — and vigilant.

With your support and hard work, we fought like hell to elect Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris. And while it’s so very close, we are encouraged by the
latest reporting and remain hopeful that when all votes are counted, Biden
and Harris will be declared the next president and vice president of the
United States.

The NRDC Action Fund will be monitoring election returns very closely,
especially in states where the races are tight and where ballots are still
being counted. And we are urging everyone to be patient while the
democratic process plays out. It will take time for states to fully count
every vote, especially given the unprecedented number of voters who cast
mail-in and absentee ballots due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump is desperately trying to hold onto power. After all, undermining
public confidence in the voting process has been a central part of his
cynical strategy to get re-elected all along.

But we know that what he and his allies are really trying to do is
disenfranchise voters, especially in communities of color and in
low-income communities. That must not stand. Every single vote must be
counted.

Nothing should stand in the way of our nation's democratic commitment to
counting all ballots.

The NRDC Action Fund is using every tool available to ensure that all the
votes are counted:

* We will activate our members and supporters — online and in the
streets — to resist Trump's efforts to shut down the counting of
ballots, and to demand that local and state election officials count
every vote, whether cast at polling places or by mail.
* We are working together with local and national organizations to
demand a free, fair, and accurate vote count.
* We will support efforts by our partners in the courts to ensure that
the election outcome is fair and that every ballot is counted.
* And we will carry on this fight for as long as it takes to count every
ballot and inaugurate the president who rightfully won the vote.
* With the public's attention diverted by election uncertainty, we won't
let Trump and his allies in Congress sneak through more
polluter-sponsored assaults on our climate, air, water, lands,
communities, and health in the crucial days and weeks ahead.

Rest assured that the NRDC Action Fund, and our sister organization NRDC,
will be ready to keep fighting for our environment, for climate justice
and clean energy, and for a stronger democracy, no matter who holds power
in Washington.

And you can help! We'll be relying on supporters like you in the days and
weeks ahead to help us finish this fight strong and do whatever they can
to make sure all the votes are counted.

So make sure you are ready to mobilize with us at a moment's notice:

and text ACTION FUND to 21333 to sign up for urgent text alerts so we can

We stand ready to protect people over polluters, combat the climate
crisis, fight injustice, and uphold democracy. I hope I can count on you
to stand with us.

Thank you.
