Dear NRDC Action Fund Activist,

The midterms are just weeks away. And the stakes for our planet couldn't be greater. Unnatural, climate-fueled disasters just keep getting worse.

Here's what you can do:

Donate $5 or more right now to the NRDC Action Fund. We'll DOUBLE it, until midnight Sept 30. And you'll help make TWICE the impact to defend climate majorities in Congress — while fighting for even bolder climate action that our planet desperately needs.

I know you've seen the horrific news about devastating flooding from Pakistan to Mississippi. And just last week, we witnessed the landfall of Hurricane Fiona that left communities across Puerto Rico without power. These disasters are NOT normal. And they're just the latest in a string of freakish climate events.

How freakish? How about 100 degrees in the Arctic? Or roads and houses that literally melt in countries as far north as Canada? Or one-third of Pakistan submerged under water, impacting 33 million people (that's more than the population of Texas)?

And it's just the tip of iceberg. Against this backdrop is an even graver threat to our very existence: Trump Republicans who deny climate change is real and vow to undo all the progress we've made these.

How do we stop them?

Donate $5 or more right now to the NRDC Action Fund. We'll DOUBLE it, until midnight Sept 30. And you'll help make TWICE the impact to defend climate majorities in Congress and push the Biden administration to aggressively implement the transformative climate action our planet desperately needs.

What transformative climate action? I'm talking about the Inflation Reduction Act — the historic $369 billion clean energy investment recently passed by Congress and signed into law by the president.

That new law has laid the groundwork for our climate future, but it's just the beginning, not the end. We must keep fighting for climate justice — and one big way we're going to do that is at the ballot box.

Here's how: Donate $5 or more right now to the NRDC Action Fund. We will match your gift to:

• Reach and mobilize pro-environment voters in key districts across the country. Give now >
• Elect and re-elect climate champions in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, and other critical states. Give now >
• Prevail on Congress and the Biden administration to do more to deliver on the promise of the Inflation Reduction Act and work toward an equitable future for all. Give now >

Just look at how many families in Mississippi have had to endure unsafe drinking water for weeks because of climate change-fueled flooding, how many families in Nevada and Arizona are dealing with drought after drought due to changing weather, how many families have been forced to flee their homes after catastrophic wildfires — the list goes on and on.

I hope you'll decide to help by supporting the NRDC Action Fund with a gift of $5 or more. Remember, every dollar donated will DOUBLE, up to $100,000 until September 30. That's double the impact in our fight to elect environmental champions and combat the climate crisis on the scale we need to avert catastrophe. Please, don't wait.

Thanks for anything you can do right now during these critical weeks before the election.

Sincerely,

Denis Dison
Communications Director, NRDC Action Fund
