Dear NRDC Activist,
No doubt about it, 2020 has been a challenging year.
Our nation is being ravaged by a pandemic that has taken the lives of more
than 258,000 people and and has left millions more ill. Racial injustice
has reached a boiling point, with a nationwide call for equality and an
end to police brutality against Black people ringing louder than ever.
Millions of people are out of work, and our economy is suffering. All of
these issues are exacerbated by the devastating impacts of the worsening
climate crisis.
In a year of so much darkness and pain, it may be difficult to find
something to be thankful for this year, especially when many of us will
not be sitting down with our loved ones over a holiday meal.
But hope is on the horizon. As we break for the Thanksgiving holiday, I
will be personally giving thanks that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be
inaugurated as our next president and vice president in just a few short
months.
With Biden and Harris at the helm, NRDC stands ready to help build a
brighter, healthier, more equitable, and prosperous world. And this
hope-filled future would not have been achievable without millions of
people — including NRDC supporters like you — making their voices heard
and their votes count.
So I will also be giving thanks for you. Because we did this together. We
elected leaders who will tackle the climate crisis and fight for racial
justice and equity.
This was a year of hard work — but it's not over yet.
Donald Trump is not out of the White House yet and continues his efforts
to wreak havoc on our environment, climate, and health, even in the final
days of his presidency. In fact, just this past week, Trump pressed ahead
with climate-busting plans to force open the pristine Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to oil and gas development before Biden takes
office. And many Trump administration agencies are rushing through plans
to solidify anti-environment measures and to make it harder for the
President-elect to nullify their attacks on clean air, clean water, our
health, and communities.
But rest assured — NRDC is ready to fight back, just as we've always done,
and will continue to do, right up until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are
inaugurated on January 20, 2021.
And from that point on, we are going to be focused on turning promises
into progress.
The Biden/Harris climate plan is the strongest climate plan we've ever
seen from any administration in our nation's history. And NRDC is working
to make sure the new administration gets started on day one making that
plan a reality by rebuilding our federal agencies, reversing Trump's
environmental rollbacks, restoring U.S. climate leadership at the
international level, and more.
So as we look toward a new year that brings with it a promise of hope and
change, I am so grateful for the millions of climate voters across our
nation who elected a new administration that will tackle the climate
crisis, and put health and equity at the forefront.
NRDC remains as committed as ever to building that better world. And I am
thankful that NRDC supporters like you continue to fight alongside us.
Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving.
With thanks,
