Dear NRDC Activist,

This year's extreme weather continued to break records, from heatwaves to catastrophic wildfires, devastating hurricanes, and terrible flooding. This summer alone, nearly 1 in 3 people in the U.S. experienced firsthand the impacts of climate change, demonstrating that the climate crisis is here. And its accelerating.

We've reached a make-or-break moment for our future. Our actions in the weeks and months ahead will determine the kind of world we inhabit for the rest of our lives and leave to our children and grandchildren.

Your generous support of NRDC has never been more important. Starting today, you can have an even bigger impact in the fight for our children's future: An anonymous donor has offered to give an incredible $200,000 to NRDC if 5,000 people like you pitch in with a gift of any amount by midnight on Giving Tuesday. Will you donate just $5 or more now to help unlock $200,000 for bold climate action?

We need help from supporters like you to turbocharge our work fighting for the environment. Right now, we are:

• Mobilizing massive grassroots support for the strongest possible climate and clean energy policies in President Biden's groundbreaking Build Back Better agenda
• Battling in and out of court to end the use of neonic pesticides that are killing bees and other pollinators critical to our food supply
• Supporting Indigenous and other frontline communities who are fighting to block destructive fossil fuel projects like the Line 3, Mountain Valley, and other pipelines
• Working with communities and grassroots organizations to secure more federal resources to dramatically speed up the removal of dangerous lead pipes for safer drinking water
• Mobilizing nationwide support to fight climate change by transitioning to a power sector that is 80 percent clean by 2030

Please, make a gift before midnight on Tuesday and help unlock $200,000 to help push this vital work forward in the weeks and months ahead. Just $5 can help us get there.

When it comes to our very future, we can't afford equivocation or backsliding. We can't let the same powerful, pro-polluter forces that championed the Trump administration's all-out assault on our health and the environment derail our progress. There's no time to waste.

Together, we can help set our country — and the world — firmly on the path toward the healthier, more prosperous, more equitable clean energy future we all deserve.

When you give by midnight this Tuesday, your donation will power more progress in the fight for our environment — and help unlock an extra $200,000.

It's time to sprint. I hope I can count on your support at this must-win moment to build a better world.

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna
President and CEO, NRDC
