Dear NRDC Activist,

Earlier this year, the Supreme Court made an alarming
decision.

Not only to overturn Roe v. Wade... but also to undermine
the EPA's ability to tackle climate-busting pollution. Big
polluters think that these decisions are an invitation to them
and now everything is on the table:

Our right to breathe clean air. To drink clean water. To
save imperiled wildlife. And to take bold action to avert a
climate meltdown.

In response, we're launching the NRDC Legal Fund so we can
move swiftly to defend our bedrock environmental laws against
America's biggest polluters — and we need your support!

2x MATCH: Donate to the NRDC Legal Fund before midnight on
12/23 and your tax-deductible gift will DOUBLE. Help us raise the
$100,000 we need to fund the critical legal battles ahead. ( [link removed]

Even $5 can make a real difference. ( [link removed]

Big polluters think that because Trump stacked the federal
judiciary with more than 200 of his appointees, they have an
opportunity to try to drag us back to the 1920s — a time when
they had free rein to pollute and plunder.

Our litigators have what it takes to stop them: we took the
Trump administration to court more than 150 times and have a win
rate of nearly 90% in the cases that have been resolved. Your
support at this critical time can help us build on that momentum.

Your 2x MATCHED donation of just $5 to the NRDC Legal Fund
will ensure we can marshal the resources and staff necessary to
wage scores of legal battles against well-financed polluters and
win. ( [link removed]

The right-wing crusade to shred our hard-won environmental
protections is already well underway.

Just look at the first case on the Supreme Court's docket
this term, Sackett v. EPA. The outcome could gut the EPA's
ability to protect drinking water sources for more than 100
million people.

Meanwhile, our lawyers are fighting right now to stave off
multiple legal attacks on new climate-critical policies and even
on the President's authority to designate national monuments.

Every one of us will be impacted by the outcomes of these
critical cases, but it's our most vulnerable frontline
communities that will bear the brunt if polluters succeed.

And these cases are just a prelude to what's to come next
year. But I'm confident that — with your help — we can wage and
win these all-important battles.

Here's what I know for certain: We must reach our goal of
$100,000 by Friday, 12/23 if we're to stand a chance of stopping
polluters. Your $5 tax-deductible donation to the NRDC Legal Fund
will be DOUBLED to help protect our environment against a barrage
of legal attacks. ( [link removed]

Our ability to defend our planet in court this year will
rely on your support right now.

With Gratitude,
