Dear NRDC Activist,

The tectonic, rightward shift of the Supreme Court has had
immediate and devastating consequences. First, the Court
overturned Roe v. Wade. Then, it attacked the EPA's ability to
regulate climate-wrecking pollution.

Now, in Sackett v. EPA, the Supreme Court will decide
whether or not to gut the Clean Water Act. That's the same
50-year-old law that cleaned up rivers so toxic that they caught
on fire and protected streams children play in.

Protections for wetlands that clean the drinking water
supplies for millions of people could vanish overnight.

This is one of the most serious
assaults we've ever seen on our nation's bedrock environmental
laws, and it's indicative of how emboldened polluters are since
Trump stacked our courts with hundreds of ideological, right-wing
judges.

We're expecting a wave of similar cases in the new year,
and we must be prepared to rush to court to fight back. Donate
now to the NRDC Legal Fund and every tax-deductible dollar will
DOUBLE, up to $100,000. We're just 48 hours out from our
deadline, and we're still short of our goal. Can you help wih a
donation of just $5? ( [link removed]

America's polluters are coming after protections for our
environment across the board.

* Three separate lawsuits brought by pro-polluter forces
seek to derail climate-critical progress on clean vehicles. Your
2x MATCHED donation of $5 to the NRDC Legal Fund will defend our
climate against polluter assaults >> ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] )
* A new attack against the president's authority to designate
national monuments would strip protections from treasured places
like Utah's Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national
monuments. DOUBLE your $5 gift to NRDC's new legal war chest and
help defend wild places >> ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] )
* Multiple, simultaneous attacks by polluters on state and local
climate measures seek to gut those protections. MULTIPLY your
impact x2 to help us win the toughest courtroom battles across
the nation >> ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] )

This is just a taste of the dizzying surge of assaults on
our environmental laws, brought because polluters think the
hundreds of Trump-appointed judges across the federal judiciary
will undo critical protections.

With our deadline fast approaching, we still have not met
our $100,000 goal. Will you help us fill the gap and fund our
legal battles with a donation of just $5?

This is URGENT: Donate now to the NRDC Legal Fund and every
dollar you give will be DOUBLED, up to $100,000. Even $5 will
make an impact. ( [link removed]

For more than fifty years, NRDC's members have counted on
us to wage — and win — the toughest courtroom battles.

For decades, our legal team has delivered: We've forced
polluters to clean up their toxic messes. We've stopped
anti-environment politicians from trashing the laws that protect
our air and water. And we've relentlessly defended imperiled
wildlife from extinction.

But our half-century of experience tells us that the legal
threats mounting right now demand an extraordinary response.

With just 48 hours left, and our goal still not met, I hope
we can count on your support. Please, chip in $5 today ( [link removed]
