Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Terribly harrowing news from the world's leading scientists:

The blistering heat, extreme wildfires, and devastating floods caused by climate change this year are only going to get worse — and the brink of climate catastrophe is approaching faster than previously thought.

A new report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) underscores that policymakers around the world must take swift, decisive action to combat the climate crisis.

The question now becomes: What must we do to prevent an even more devastating future?

We're launching a 48-hour campaign to raise $40,000 to help power our largest grassroots advocacy campaign EVER, rallying coast-to-coast support for strong climate action. Can I count on you to lend your support today?

We need Congress to pass the strongest possible budget reconciliation legislation to tackle the climate crisis, clean up the mess made by dirty fossil fuels, and move to an equitable, 100% clean energy future.

Whether your members of Congress are home in their districts for August recess or already back in Washington, they're listening to what their constituents are saying. And we need your help to push them to pass this vital budget reconciliation bill when both houses of Congress are back in session next month.

Will you help us reach our goal and pull out all the stops for this fight by donating $5 or more today?

This could be our only chance. The slim pro-environment majorities in Congress could easily vanish after the midterm elections next year. And the fossil fuel industry's allies are pushing hard to stymie and kill this legislation.

That's why we must scale up our campaign immediately to pass this historic legislation, or risk losing this once-in-a-generation opportunity to drive an equitable recovery and avert climate catastrophe.

Your gift will also help us lobby Congress, elect pro-environment lawmakers in Washington and across the country, and hold the Biden administration's feet to the fire so we can address the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves.

Please, donate $5 today to help us reach our $40,000 goal by MIDNIGHT tomorrow.

We simply can't win this fight without your support. Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Kevin S. Curtis
Executive Director, NRDC Action Fund
