Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Tonight is a critical deadline. Here’s why:

The U.N.’s latest climate report is its most dire one yet, showing that our planet is warming at an unprecedented pace — and shows no signs of slowing down.

The Biden administration understands the urgency and has proposed a sweeping set of climate policies that Congress must pass. So the NRDC Action Fund has launched our most ambitious grassroots mobilization campaign EVER to fight for the strongest possible climate legislation and to hold our leaders accountable — and to make it happen, we need your help to reach our $40,000 goal by midnight tonight.

Can I count on you to pitch in $5 to help fund this critical fight for climate action — before our midnight deadline?

The Senate recently passed infrastructure legislation that includes some important climate provisions but doesn’t go nearly far enough to avert climate catastrophe and capitalize on the promise of the Biden administration’s Build Back Better agenda.

Now we need Congress to also pass strong budget reconciliation legislation that will slash climate pollution, dramatically speed up the transition to clean energy, and safeguard vulnerable communities.

Mitch McConnell said that 100 percent of his focus is on thwarting the Biden agenda — once again putting corporate profits and his personal agenda above this climate emergency, public health, and our planet.

Unfortunately, he's far from alone. There are plenty of other anti-environment members of Congress — and their allies in the fossil fuel industry — who are fighting tooth-and-nail to block climate progress.

How much we can raise by midnight tonight will determine how much pressure we can generate to pass this crucial budget package.

So we need your help to counter their efforts. Please help us raise $40,000 by MIDNIGHT to supercharge our campaign to pressure Congress to pass a vital climate-saving budget package. Just $5 can make a difference!

Your donation will help us:

• Mobilize supporters from coast to coast in our largest grassroots organizing effort ever to push for an equitable 100% clean energy future
• Lobby members of Congress in their districts and on Capitol Hill to pass the strongest possible budget reconciliation package
• Launch targeted digital ads and get the devastating findings of the U.N. climate report out to the media
• Elect pro-environment lawmakers in Washington and across the country
• Hold the Biden administration’s feet to the fire so we can address the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves

With narrow pro-environment majorities in both houses of Congress, THIS YEAR is our best chance to secure the investments needed to prevent future climate disaster, before the midterm elections. And we’ll be fighting for every single vote.

How much we can raise by midnight tonight will determine how much pressure we can generate to pass this crucial budget package.

Can we count on you to chip in just $5 to help us reach our $40,000 goal by midnight so we can pull out all the stops for this fight?

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,
NRDC Action Fund
