Dear NRDC Activist,

Fossil fuel giants are determined to keep on drilling while the world burns.

We saw it when, just recently, the Biden administration — in responding to a Louisiana court order — chose to put 80 million acres of new offshore drilling leases up for sale in the Gulf of Mexico, with ExxonMobil, Chevron, and others chomping at the bit to get a piece for themselves.

But at this do-or-die moment to stop their reckless drilling spree, we cannot allow these mega polluters to continue to sacrifice our planet for profit. NRDC is fighting to counter Big Oil's climate-busting dirty energy agenda and help President Biden put the U.S. firmly on track to deliver the equitable, clean-energy future we all deserve.

And our success relies on your generous financial support.

Please, help NRDC defend our environment, press the Biden administration to deliver on its climate commitments, and stop Big Oil in its tracks. Donate by midnight on January 31 and your gift of just $5 will be 3X MATCHED!

Your support is so crucial right now that the daughter of NRDC Founding President John Adams, Kate Adams, her husband Duke Wiser, and their family will triple match your donation up to a total of $330,000!

Since I became President of NRDC last year, my passion for this organization and its effectiveness has only deepened. NRDC's unique combination of legal firepower, science, policy chops, and grassroots activism is truly unparalleled.

But Big Oil is fighting us every step of the way so they can keep drilling come hell or high water. They're pumping a fortune into a PR and lobbying blitz to keep us shackled to climate-wrecking fossil fuels.

We cannot allow them to succeed. We must fight back by building immense grassroots pressure on the ground locally, nationally, and internationally.

I hope you'll send a special, tax-deductible gift to NRDC right now. Make your donation by January 31 and every dollar will be TRIPLE MATCHED to support our fight, in and out of court, up to an incredible $330,000. Even $5 will make a difference.

I truly believe this will be a decisive moment in our collective history. We must do everything we can to wrestle control of our future away from fossil fuel giants.

Thank you for doing your part by standing with us today.

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna
President and CEO, NRDC
