Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

There are ZERO benefits to increasing our dependence on fossil fuels:

✖ It raises prices at the gas pump
✖ It props up belligerent petrostates like Russia
✖ It accelerates climate change and drives more extreme weather like wildfires, droughts, and flooding

But fossil fuel CEOs see nothing but benefits: power to influence lawmakers and potential for massive profits. They're pouring millions of dollars into supporting anti-environment politicians who will do their bidding in Congress so they can continue to pollute with impunity and drive us closer to climate catastrophe.

We CAN defeat them at the ballot box in this year's midterm elections — but we must fight back now.

Will you make a gift today to help elect climate champions, fight climate change, and build a clean energy economy that works for everyone? When you donate by Earth Day, April 22, your gift will be MATCHED, dollar-for-dollar, up to our $100,000 goal!

With your $5 Earth Day gift, your support will immediately DOUBLE in impact, strengthening our efforts to:

• Advance game-changing clean energy legislation in Congress that will slash climate-warming pollution, create good-paying jobs, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels
• Stop Big Oil and its allies in Congress from undoing critical safeguards that protect our air, water, and health
• Keep climate action at the forefront in Washington so that climate-denying politicians pay a political price for representing the interests of fossil fuel giants instead of communities
• Mobilize volunteers and reach more pro-environment voters in swing states and districts using data-driven, proven strategies via texts, calls, social media, and even postcards to energize voters and get them to show up at the polls for the midterm elections this November
• Elect as many climate champions as we can — every seat we win is one less politician who will do Big Oil's bidding and one more lawmaker who will help usher in an equitable clean energy future

We've already laid a strong foundation to swing the outcome of key races this fall. But as you know, the president's party often loses seats during the midterm elections ... and we can't let this small group of wealthy oil executives win. Families deserve relief at the gas pump, a stable economy, and freedom from dependence on fossil fuels.

Now is the time to make your first gift of just $5 or more to the NRDC Action Fund. Together, we can usher in a cleaner, healthier future for all.

Are you with us?

Sincerely,

Kevin S. Curtis
Executive Director, NRDC Action Fund
