Supporter,

We've sent you a lot of emails about tonight's fundraising deadline (and our incredible 5x MATCH opportunity--which comes with a FREE Eco-Chic Reusable Bag Set). But our records show you still haven't made your matched gift, and we only have a few hours left before it runs out.

But we're not just running out of time for our match deadline—we make more than half our budget during this last week of the year, and I'm worried we're going to fall short.

Our budget is more than just a number—it's a measure of our ability to protect places like the Tongass National Forest, replace lead pipes that are poisoning low-income and communities of color, and keep the fossil fuels that are warming our climate in the ground.

Here's why your urgent support matters:

Because we've got a narrow pro-environment majority in Congress—and the Republicans want to take over Congress next year in the midterms. Your 5X matched gift will lock down important victories >>

Because the IPCC reported that we need to keep climate change to within 1.5 degrees Celsius, or risk catastrophic heatwaves, drought, wildfires, and flooding—and we're lagging behind. Your 5X matched gift will help find ways to cool the climate >>

Because even with Democratic control of Congress and the White House, fossil fuel lobbyists were able to axe vital climate funding provisions in the Build Back Better Act—and they're not stopping there. Your 5x matched gift will help fight back against anti-environment forces and keep polluting fossil fuels in the ground >>

With your support, we'll keep fighting—and winning—because the Sierra Club is uniquely positioned with grassroots movement and 64 chapters in all 50 states to be effective and make a difference. Here's what else your 5X MATCHED gift will do:

• Mobilize our vast grassroots network, partnering with powerful coalitions and leaders to gearing up to fight hard to secure every victory.
• Combat the climate crisis by moving to 100% clean energy, curbing carbon emissions and supporting communities impacted by climate change.
• Construct a clean and safe economy that creates jobs, helps marginalized communities build power, and improves public health.
• Fight environmental injustice by fixing the environmental issues harming communities of color, low-income communities, and Tribal and Indigenous communities across the country.
• Fix our democracy—reducing governmental corruption and rebuild a government of, for, and by ALL people.
• Protect 30 percent of key lands and waters by 2030, while working to connect communities with nature.

You can be a part of all of this—while making your gift to FIVE TIMES as far with our match. But only if you donate by MIDNIGHT >>

We have a vibrant, powerful grassroots base. We have strong coalition ties that no one can ignore. But the only way we can fight back is with the support of our members and supporters—like you, Friend.

The work that we do—that you help us do with your support—really does make a difference. For just the next few hours—your money will go 5x farther. So, yes, we really do need your help today. Right now. Before midnight.

Thank you—and happy New Year from the Sierra Club

P.S.—If you've already made your gift, thank you so much, we're busy processing donations.
