NRDC Action Fund Supporter,

Transportation is now America's #1 source of greenhouse gas pollution ... and it's fueling our growing climate crisis.

Yet outrageously, just days ago, General Motors, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, and other automakers joined President Trump's effort to weaken clean car standards that reduce pollution and save drivers billions of dollars at the pump. Strong clean car standards are among our most vital tools for tackling climate change.

This is just the administration's latest attack on climate action. The evidence of climate change is all around us — right now, devastating wildfires are blazing across California, forcing thousands to evacuate their homes.

As long as he's at the helm, President Trump will continue to side with big polluters against people, our environment, and our climate.

So the most surefire way to end this assault is to vote President Trump and his pro-polluter allies out of office on Election Day 2020.

Help power our work from now through Election Day 2020 so that we have the resources we need to WIN. If you step up now, every dollar you send will be matched, up to $60,000 — doubling your impact in this all-important fight to boot Trump and his fossil fuel allies out of office.

Two months ago, Trump moved to strip California, 13 other states, and Washington, D.C., of their power to set their own strong tailpipe emissions standards.

Make no mistake: This is a direct assault on our clean air protections. Allowing states to set their own standards would effectively safeguard them against the Trump administration's repeated attempts to roll back vital clean car standards at the federal level.

Our sister organization NRDC is fighting the Trump administration in federal court to protect strong clean car standards. And the NRDC Action Fund is fighting in Congress for strong legislation that will protect existing clean car standards and help expand electric vehicle use across the country.

But the real key to protecting strong clean car standards and climate action is to ensure that Trump is a one-term president. We have just one year until Election Day 2020 to build a campaign that will mobilize pro-environment voters. But our success next November depends a lot on what we do right now.

Your gift will enable us to fight tooth and nail on Capitol Hill to oppose some of Trump's worst attacks on our environment ... focus on winning the most important House and Senate elections in key districts across the country .... escalate overwhelming pressure on lawmakers and the president to protect the American people they serve, not fossil fuel industry profits ... launch targeted voter outreach to get more green voters to the polls ... and of course, boot Trump and his anti-environment allies out of office in 2020.

All gifts made right now will go TWICE as far to push back on Trump's destructive environmental rollbacks, elect environmental champions, and break the fossil fuel lobby's control of Congress.

Our communities, our climate, and our planet cannot afford four more years of a Trump presidency. I hope I can count on your support today.

Sincerely,

Luke Tonachel
