We were thrilled and honored to receive just over $383,000 in
Giving Tuesday donations from 3,333 environmental champions yesterday.
Together, they set a new Giving Tuesday record - but
unfortunately, we still fell just short of our $400,000 goal.
Luckily, we've been given one last chance to hit our goal by
extending the Giving Tuesday match for email subscribers like you for
one more day.
That also gives you one last chance to do up to five times as much
good for the environment in 2020!
Make your Last Chance Wednesday gift before midnight tonight and
you can still unlock our biggest match of the year. (Donate at least
$35 or start an automatic monthly gift of any size to qualify for the
maximum $4-for-$1 match!).

This Last Chance match offer is exclusively for email subscribers
like you - you won't find it on our website - so
please use one of the links in this email to make your gift!
Thank you for everything you do,

Manager, Online Membership
P.S. We'd love to be able to say we welcomed 1,500 new online
members in honor of this year's Giving Tuesday. We only need 163
more supporters like you to make your first online gift to meet that
goal. Will you donate before midnight to add your name to the count?

John,
Time is running out to take advantage of our limited-time
Giving Tuesday match offer!
Make your gift by midnight to claim our biggest and best match
offer of the year.

We need to raise just under $92,000 more before midnight
- just a few hours from now - to unlock the full $400,000
bonus match offered exclusively to Giving Tuesday donors.
Every $1 we fall short of today's goal is $1 in matching
funds that we won't be able to claim - and that means
fewer resources to fight for clean energy progress and a safer climate
future in 2020.
Please make your gift before midnight to ensure we don't
leave any money on the table.
Thank you for making a brighter future possible,
Sam Parry
Director, Membership

John, today's the day.
Millions of caring people around the world are coming together to
celebrate Giving Tuesday by contributing to organizations who share
their vision of a better future.
Fight for clean air, clean water and a safer climate future by
making your first gift to EDF today, and you could qualify for the
biggest and best match offer of the year.

Here's how it works:
* First, every dollar you give will be matched $2-for-$1 by our
Year End match sponsor.
* Next, if you donate before midnight, your gift will be matched
again in honor of Giving Tuesday.
* Finally, if you give at least $35 or start a new monthly gift of
any amount, you'll unlock a bonus $1-for-$1 match from the
Wilson Charitable Trust.
By stacking these offers together, every $1 you give before midnight
tonight unlocks as much as $4 more to fight for clean air, clean water
and a safer climate future.
The Trump administration's latest attack our hard-won
environmental protections came just two weeks ago when they released
their "Fall 2019 Unified Regulatory Agenda" - a
cynical playbook to cement their polluter-first agenda and make the
damage they've done harder for future Presidents or Congresses
to undo.
But now that we know their game plan, with your help, we can fight
back by:
* Defending Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which protect
babies' tiny brains from damage and save an estimated
11,000 lives and prevent thousands of heart attacks and asthma
attacks every year.
* Defeating Trump's watered-down "replacement"
for the historic Clean Power Plan - a fossil fuel industry
giveaway with NO pollution limits, NO deadlines and NO
enforcement power.
* Rescuing America's wildly successful Clean Car fuel
standards, targeted for repeal by the Trump administration
despite the program's success at not only making our air
cleaner, but saving us money at the pump, too.
* Fighting sweeping changes to the Endangered Species Act that
would make it harder to protect species threatened by climate
change and harder to support landowners who volunteer their
lands to provide critically-needed habitat.
Please make your first online gift before midnight tonight to earn the
biggest matching gift possible - up to $4 for every $1 you
donate to defeat the Trump administration's anti-environmental
2020 agenda.
A clean, healthy environment gives us so much. Thank you for standing
up for it.
Happy Giving Tuesday,
Emily Stevenson

P.S. The late Robert W. Wilson was an EDF member for most of his
adult life. More than most people, he understood that change happens
when millions of people come together, united in purpose. During his
lifetime, he contributed millions of dollars to match gifts for tens
of thousands of EDF members. The Wilson Charitable Trust honors his
legacy today by continuing to sponsor matching gift opportunities like
this one. Make your year-end gift today to unlock up to $4 with every
$1 you give.
