NRDC

Dear NRDC Activist,

We're in the final countdown of our critical fundraising campaign to rein in the fossil fuel industry's corporate takeover of our public lands and oceans. Don't miss out on your chance to have your impact go 5x as far to help us defend our environment on all fronts with a 5x Match before midnight tonight.

Yesterday, senators reached a groundbreaking budget deal calling for billions of dollars in strategic investments to promote clean energy and climate justice. Once enacted and properly implemented, the package will cut greenhouse gas emissions up to 40 percent by 2030, expand electric vehicles, clean up our dirty power plants, lower utility bills, deliver long-delayed climate justice for communities across the country, help avert a climate catastrophe, and so much more.

While not perfect, this bill — a dramatic turn-around for Congress — is the strongest climate action yet in the moment we need it most. But as long as we continue to depend on fossil fuels and the damage and dangers they bring, our climate future will continue to be at risk.

NRDC is preparing for those fossil fuel fights ahead and the resources we shore up today will help determine whether or not we can win against Big Oil's greed and protect our climate future. To help in this and other important fights, Please chip in with a tax-deductible donation today, before midnight, and it will be matched five times, up to $200,000. We'll put it to work doing what we do best — defending our environment in the most effective ways possible.

Thank you for being with us in this fight and for making a gift today.

Dear NRDC Activist,

Public fearmongering ... back-room arm-twisting ... massive disinformation campaigns — there's no end to what Big Oil will do to snatch up even more of our precious wildlands for oil and gas drilling. The profit proposition is too great for them.

The fossil fuel industry's calculated assault on our public lands is meant to pressure the Biden administration into abandoning its climate promises and shakle us to dirty fossil fuels.

And they'd get away with it too — if NRDC wasn't ready and able to fight them head-on. From all-star lawyers with a proven track record of winning courtroom victories to millions of committed advocates ready to mobilize in defense of our environment, NRDC is leading the fight to save our planet's climate. And we need your support to keep us in fighting shape.

Stand strong with NRDC and make a gift to support our fight against Big Oil's relentless assault on our climate. Donate by MIDNIGHT TOMORROW and your tax-deductible gift will be matched not once, not twice, but FIVE TIMES up to $200,000, going extra far to help us defend our planet on every front.

Tens of thousands of people have called on President Biden to stand strong against Big Oil's pressure and halt all new oil and gas leasing on our public lands and in our oceans. He has the discretion, under law, to stop leasing in the interest of saving our climate.

But that won't stop the fossil fuel industry. Not one bit.

Energy giants are seeing eye-popping profits and are sitting on 9,000 approved, unused drilling permits and 12,000 unused leases covering more than 24 million acres of our public lands — they don't need any more!

For the fossil fuel industry, pressuring the White House for more leases is about securing access to new supply and new profits well into the future. For our planet, it will mean decades more dependence on dirty fossil fuels and the inability to avert the worst cases of climate change.

Help us push back against fossil fuel company greed with a matched gift today. Every dollar donated to protect our climate future and our environment will be 5X matched up to $200,000 — but only until tomorrow, July 29.

With the fossil fuel industry leaning heavily on the White House to snap up more long-term leases — and climate catastrophe rapidly approaching — the stakes have never been higher. NRDC must be able to respond to this crisis swiftly. And with your support, we can.

Thank you for standing strong with us today.

Sincerely,

Josh Axelrod
Senior Program Advocate, Nature, NRDC
