Dear NRDC Activist,

The holiday spirit — that we're-all-in-this-together feeling — has never been more vital than it is right now, as we face the stark choice ahead of us: to band together with everything we've got to fight catastrophic climate change...

...or to sit back and watch as extreme weather worsens, our forests disappear, our oceans acidify, our wildlife die, and our neighbors suffer.

I know my choice. And there's no question about NRDC's choice: we're fighting.

That's why today, we're thrilled to launch NRDC's first-ever Holiday Drive, with a goal to raise $100,000 to save the planet by December 24.

A generous donor has agreed to MATCH every dollar donated before the deadline, up to our $100,000 goal. Please don't wait — pitch in with your tax-deductible gift of just $5 or more for the environment now!

Your donation to the Holiday Drive will immediately double, going twice as far to help:

• Support our work alongside activists in low-income neighborhoods and communities of color to ensure everyone has access to clean, lead-free water. Double your impact now >>
• Strengthen our efforts in and out of the courtroom to protect endangered species like gray wolves, which face brutal, state-sanctioned attacks in the Northern Rockies that could push the species back to the brink of extinction. Your gift goes twice as far for wolves >>
• Defend the one-of-a-kind wilderness treasure that is Big Cypress National Preserve in Florida's Everglades from being razed for the sake of climate-busting oil and gas drilling. Your donation to protect wild lands will be MATCHED >>
• Demand decisive action on climate change from the Biden administration, including deeper investment in clean energy and a faster and bolder shift away from fossil fuels. Help power this urgent fight x2 >>

Make your gift for a greener, more equitable future today and it will DOUBLE in impact — meaning NRDC's lawyers, activists, and scientists can fight twice as hard for clean air, safe drinking water, thriving wildlife, and a healthy planet. Even $5 makes a difference!

Thanks for always sticking with us. This is a fight I know we can win — but only if we face it head-on together.

Sincerely,

Ben Smith
Senior Director, Digital Advocacy and Fundraising, NRDC
