[ NRDC ]NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)
Dear NRDC Supporter,
These past few years under the Trump administration have felt like an
eternity of constant assaults on our environment and our health. And it's
no secret that Black, Indigenous, and communities of color have been
facing the overwhelming brunt of pollution and the adverse effects of
climate change brought on by this administration and a noxious legacy of
environmental racism.
From working to reverse rollbacks to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), which gives people the tools to block heavily polluting projects
in their backyards, to securing access to safer drinking water in places
like Flint, Michigan — NRDC continues to work alongside environmental
justice groups and frontline communities to ensure that we're defending
the environment and communities from these injustices.
But in his waning time as President, Trump is unleashing a slew of
last-ditch, polluter-sponsored attacks on vulnerable communities, and it's
up to us to stop them.
[ [link removed] ], please
consider making a tax-deductible gift to help us reach our goal of
$500,000 to support these fights and more. Every $1 you give will be
TRIPLE matched to fight against Trump's final assaults and hold the
incoming Biden-Harris administration accountable to its promise of a
healthier future for everyone.
Your gift today will support NRDC's efforts to help communities across the
country that are disproportionately impacted by the catastrophic effects
of climate change, pollution, and other threats to our health.

NRDC has been ferociously fighting back in court against the Trump
administration's attacks, with over 130 lawsuits and sporting a 90%
win-rate in resolved cases. But Trump is not out of office yet and these
next few weeks may prove pivotal to our environmental future — especially
because his slashing and burning of environmental safeguards are most
likely to disproportionately impact vulnerable communities:
* We're in court to defend the offshore drilling ban that protects the
128 million acres of wildlife-rich waters in the Arctic and Atlantic
Oceans that Indigenous communities rely on.
* We've joined environmental justice groups in court to stop the Trump
administration from silencing the voice of the people against major
polluter projects like oil refineries and chemical plants.
* We're battling day in and day out to turn back the administration's
reckless plan to throw open 1.5 million acres of the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge in Alaska to development — a direct intrusion on lands
vital to the Gwich'in and other Indigenous people.
And more. The court cases haven't stopped, and the docket only grows
larger. We MUST have the resources needed to stand fast against the Trump
administration's attacks, and — when President-elect Biden takes office —
stay in court until those attacks are repelled.
, for a
better environment that is free of pollution for all communities, and for
a future that's secure and healthy for everyone, [ [link removed] ]please, make your
tax-deductible gift to NRDC. It will be 3X matched to have 3X the impact
and ensure we continue to defend this planet the best way we know how.
Thank you and have a wonderful holiday.
Sincerely,
