Dear NRDC Activist,

Giving Tuesday ends in just a few short hours, and with it your chance to help NRDC fight to defend our environment with a 2X matched gift.

Don't wait: Donate just $2 before MIDNIGHT, and every dollar will be MATCHED — up to our $250,000 goal — to fight for our environment. If you respond now, we'll throw in a free, reusable canvas tote bag as our way of saying thanks!

Your DOUBLED donation couldn't come at a more important moment.

Right now, our team is bracing for a barrage of new attacks against the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we all rely on.

After the Supreme Court undermined the EPA's ability to regulate pollution earlier this year, pro-polluter forces are foaming at the mouth to wipe out decades of environmental protections.

We need your donation (matched 2x until midnight!) to fight back against these anti-environment forces — in and out of court — and stop them from creating a world where:

... The EPA is hamstrung in its ability to regulate climate-busting pollution, accelerating us toward a climate meltdown;

... Cherished public lands — often home to Indigenous communities that have lived there for centuries — are torn open to new drilling, extraction, and commercial exploitation;

... Wetlands that clean our drinking water are paved over for more sprawl and development;

... Species hanging on by a thread lose protected ecosystems, virtually guaranteeing their extinction;

This isn't a world any of us want to live in — and it doesn't have to be. That's why NRDC is hard at work fighting for a cleaner, healthier, more equitable and prosperous future.

We secured critical climate and environmental progress this year, but we need the resources to keep building on that progress.

Make your 2x MATCHED donation before midnight and help us defend this irreplaceable planet. Even $2 makes a big impact. And if you give now, you'll also receive a handy, reusable canvas tote.

These fights will be challenging. But there's a reason The Wall Street Journal called NRDC "the most effective lobbying and litigating group on environmental issues."

It's because we win.

Just look at what happened when Trump tried to trash the environment. We sued more than 150 times. And we won nearly 90% of the cases resolved.

The question now is: Will we have the resources we need to execute every strategy at our disposal? Just imagine what's possible if we do.

The answer is up to you: Donate just $2 before midnight. Double your impact. And together, let's defend this irreplaceable planet that is crying out for our help.

A better world is within our grasp — and we need your help to seize it.

Remember, all donations to NRDC are 100% tax-deductible. Thanks in advance for your support.

Sincerely,

Manish Bapna
President, NRDC

P.S. Giving Tuesday is an excellent opportunity to show your support for NRDC and it ends in just a few hours. Please don't wait: your tax-deductible donation will have double the impact for our environment until midnight.
