Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in Pennsylvania. Both are running for the U.S. Senate against fossil fuel-backed politicians in November's midterm elections — and both could have a profound impact on our climate future.

Whether or not they win could mean the difference between passing much-needed climate legislation or edging closer to the brink of catastrophe.

We're gearing up to do everything we can to defeat their fossil fuel apologist opponents, but we need your help.

We MUST elect as many climate champions as we can at the ballot box this year and defeat the fossil fuel lobby — will you join the fight by donating $5 to the NRDC Action Fund today?

This campaign is so important that any gift you make by June 25, up to $80,000, will be TRIPLED and go even further to protect our environment.

We've already faced some major challenges this year — and we're now awaiting the Supreme Court's ruling on West Virginia v. EPA, which could gut the authority of the EPA to regulate climate-busting pollution from power plants and other corporate polluters.

That means it's more important than ever that Congress takes bold action to expand clean energy, protect the energy grid, and slash climate pollution — and we can't afford to let these climate change deniers run rampant in Congress. We know what they'll do: Clear the way for their allies in Big Oil and Big Coal to drain our natural resources and destroy the environment.

Butvoting is just one piece of the larger climate puzzle. We need to do MORE.

That's why, with your help, the NRDC Action Fund is:

• Mobilizing more pro-environment voters to get to the polls, especially in key states with some of the closest Congressional and gubernatorial races, to elect environmental champions who will fight for us, not polluters
• Supporting senators who will vote to confirm fair, impartial Supreme Court justices and vote against agenda-driven ideologues who side with corporate polluters
• Building a network of local climate activists who are fighting for environmental progress and healthy communities in states, cities, and towns across the country
• Sounding the alarm about Big Oil's cynical schemes and calling on Congress to break America's fossil fuel addiction by advancing critical clean energy legislation
• Keeping climate at the forefront in Washington by escalating pressure on the Biden administration to accelerate our transition to a 100% clean energy future

But we can't pull off these big plans alone. The NRDC Action Fund's fiscal year is ending soon — the time when we marshal our resources and determine how much we're able to invest in these all-important fights for our climate future. And how far we can go depends on people like you.

There's never been a more crucial time for you to get involved. Please make a gift of $5 or more to help reach our goal of $80,000 before June 25, so we can go even further to mobilize voters and continue fighting for our environment. Your gift will be matched 3X for TRIPLE the impact!

This is the time to double down and build our power for the long term. Conservative politicians aren't going to give up without a fight, but we're not backing down.

Will you donate to the NRDC Action Fund to help put climate champions in Congress and fight for our future? When you make your first $5 gift before the deadline on June 25, we'll TRIPLE your donation!

Together, we can make incredible things happen. So let's do this.

Sincerely,

Kevin S. Curtis
