New mining threat at the Grand Canyon? ? ? ? Friend ? as people take to the streets in climate change protests in cities and towns all over the world, we've learned of a staggering display of cruelty from the Trump administration.
They are preparing to move on some of the most harmful anti-environment attacks of his whole presidency. Uranium mining in the Grand Canyon. Oil and gas lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Gutting the power states have to set their own environmental standards.
We're asking today: Are you ready to do what it takes to stop him?
A donor has agreed to triple match every contribution to run environmental campaigns that STOP TRUMP'S AGENDA ? but the match deadline is a few days away and we're still $75,000 from our goal ? [link removed]
Just this month:
? Trump is finalizing plans for the sale of oil and gas leases in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It risks the utter destruction of the sacred lands that the Gwich'in people rely on ? and puts polar bears, caribou, and as many as 69 bird species in serious danger.
? The nuclear energy industry has called on Trump to begin uranium mining around the Grand Canyon. The move risks destroying a national treasure and could expose the water supply of nearby indigenous communities to toxic uranium pollution.
? The Trump administration revoked California's authority to set its own emissions standards, triggering a showdown between the federal government and a dozen states following stricter standards.
We are battling some of the most important environmental fights of the year, friend. Each of Trump's moves can be undone if we move quickly ? but it looks like they may be coming to a head right now.
We're turning to our members for help. There are just a few days until our triple match campaign ends, and we're still $75,000 from our funding goal.
Please ? pitch in while there's still time to stop Trump. If we let this stand now, the damage cannot be undone. Even $5 is enough to make a difference ? [link removed]
I promise, each of these are fights we CAN win, but we need to resist in every way possible right now. That means pushing Congress to strip funding from Trump's attacks. It means blocking his illegal moves in the courts. It means organizing on the ground.
Friend ? an emergency donation right now helps on every front. It powers our legal work. It funds our pressure campaigns on Capitol Hill. It gets our teams on the ground in swing states that could decide these fights.
Bottom line ? we need your help. And with a donor offering to TRIPLE MATCH every donation until the end of the day on Monday, you still have time to triple your impact. [link removed]
Thank you ? for everything you do to protect the environment.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
