| Dear Friend, |
| I mean this seriously: Our power lies with you. As the world’s first and largest public interest environmental legal nonprofit, Earthjustice has won more than 1,000 cases in protection of our earth, but our strength depends on you. And in years of economic hardship like this one, when fewer people have the resources to give, our power is impacted, too. |
| Thousands of people have showed up in support of our mission this week, but we are still $100,000 short of our 2022 goal and we're running out of time. Please, if you are able, donate today. Your gift will be matched $3:$1 — only if you give online today. |

| We are at a crucial point in history, understanding that our planet, our species, and all the species around us are in peril. Witnessing this destruction is heavy, and it leaves us searching for ways to chart a different future for ourselves. In the face of such peril, it is easy to feel powerless. |
| But in the 22 years I have worked at Earthjustice, I have never felt powerless. With 200 lawyers and 1,000 clients at my side, I feel the strength we wield through the power of the courts and through your support. |
| If 500 people donate in response to this email, we can reach our goal and maintain our power. There’s no time to lose: Make a donation before midnight, and my friend George Martin will match it $3:$1. |
| Our adversaries have huge amounts of money and political might. We have the facts, we have our partners, and we have you. And that's how Earthjustice has managed to win in court, again and again, for decades. Because the truth is, big change happens only when big, broad coalitions work together — when thousands of impassioned individuals, like you, join together and fight back. |
| That's how we build power: by sharing it. |
| Today, I am asking you to share what you can to keep our power strong. Our fight — the fight for environmental protection and justice — impacts every single one of us. We need every supporter who cares about our earth to help us stay strong against the forces of greed and destruction. Don’t delay. Please donate now. |

| Thank you for everything you do, for the power you bring to Earthjustice and to the world. |

| PS: If you have already sent in your end-of-year gift, thank you. We appreciate your patience as we update our records. These are exceptional times, and if you are able to make an additional small gift today, we will be so grateful. All gifts made by midnight will be matched $3:$1. |
