Dear NRDC Activist,
Distressing news that the Supreme Court appears to be preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade spread far and wide last week. But this ideologically conservative Court isn't done yet: another high-profile case sits in their laps, and it could upend environmental laws for years to come.
In just a few weeks, the Supreme Court could rule on West Virginia v. EPA — a high-profile case that could gut the Clean Air Act and weaken the EPA's ability to stop corporate polluters from pillaging our climate, air and water for profit and change environmental laws in our country forever.
No matter how the Supreme Court rules in this high-stakes case, NRDC will be prepared to fight back with every tool at our disposal, in and out of court. We're in this fight for the long haul.
But we can't do it without you. We need 1,000 donors before midnight tonight to help us prepare for the legal fights ahead. And because this is such a critical moment, we're TRIPLE MATCHING your first gift up to $80,000.
How did we end up here? Well, anti-environment politicians have worked for decades to infiltrate government institutions and implement their big polluter agenda. West Virginia v. EPA is their latest — and potentially very dangerous — attempt to make that dream come true.
The scary thing is that it just might work. They've stacked the Supreme Court with a supermajority of ideological justices who we fear may be willing to put the interests of corporate polluters above the damage climate change is doing to our planet's ability to support future generations. And right now, they have the final say in whether the EPA can continue to do its job.
And polluters won't stop there. If they win this case, they'll likely go after the authority of important government agencies to enforce other bedrock environment and health protections.
That's why we need your help. NRDC will be ready to fight no matter how the Supreme Court rules to stop the coal industry and other corporate polluters.
Will you make a tax-deductible gift of $5 right now to help us prepare for the battles that lie ahead? Your gift before our midnight deadline will be matched 3X up to $80,000!
We need 1,000 donors by midnight tonight to help power our work to:
- Use the power of the federal courts to push for — and defend — climate and clean energy policies of the EPA and other key federal agencies.
- Expand our efforts to push for federal actions necessary to begin cutting climate pollution by 50% by 2030.
- Build widespread public support behind regulatory actions to cut pollution from cars, trucks and power plants — the top sources of deadly, climate-destroying emissions in America.
- Put pressure on the Biden administration to crack down on dangerous, climate-busting oil and gas drilling along our coasts.
- Work with NRDC's state and regional organizers to expand our push for innovative clean energy policies and climate action locally, in key cities and states across the country.
No matter what happens in West Virginia v. EPA, we won't let polluters win that easily. But we need your support, and we're matching your donation before midnight 3X, up to $80,000, to make it go as far as possible.
As we await this high-stakes decision, can we count on your gift of $5 to keep us in this fight?
Sincerely,
Mitch Bernard
Chief Counsel, NRDC
