Supporter,
I know we've sent you a lot of emails about tonight's fundraising deadline (and our incredible 5x match opportunity). That's because we make more than half our budget during this last week of the year, and I'm worried we're going to fall short. Here's why that matters:
We're facing the greatest threats we've ever seen to people, wild places -- and the whole world. The climate crisis gets more devastating each year -- from massive wildfires to rising sea levels to destructive superstorms. Air and water pollution are poisoning many people, and disproportionately affecting low-income communities. Nearly 1 million endangered animal and plant species are threatened with extinction.
Our opponents in the fossil fuel, mining, and timber industries have almost limitless funds to spend on spend on buying members of Congress . We can only fight back because of the power of our members and supporters -- like you, Supporter.
And the work that we do -- that you help us do with your support -- really does make a difference. When we work together, look what we can accomplish:
-
The Interior Department was prevented from holding is inaugural drilling lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
-
Congress passed the Natural Resources Management Act, a lands protection package establishing permanent reauthorization of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and protecting more than two million acres of public land.
-
1 in 4 people now live in an area committed to transitioning to 100% clean, renewable energy.
And we secured hundreds more successes in protecting people, places, and wildlife. But how much we raise today will literally be the difference between achieving more victories like this ... or falling short.
For just the next few hours -- your money will go 5x farther. So, yes, we really do need your help right now. Today. Before midnight.
Donate to the Sierra Club. Don't miss this chance to have your gift MULTIPLIED by 5, up to $400,000. And remember -- we'll send you our Eco-Chic Reusable Bag Set FREE.
Thank you -- and happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Michelle Epstein
Deputy Chief Advancement Officer
P.S. -- If you've already made your gift, THANK YOU. We've had an outpouring of support and are busy processing donations.
