| Dear Friend, |
| In March, the Trump administration opened a mile-wide loophole for coal power plants. It invited plant operators to simply email the Environmental Protection Agency to receive a “national security” exemption from pollution limits — no public process, no strings attached. |
| This is a political favor dressed up as a national security measure. |
| Today, Earthjustice sued to stop these illegal exemptions. |
| Fierce litigation can bring this administration into line, but we need your support to stand up to the scale of their attacks. Our $2:$1 match is expiring at the end of this month, so please give today. |
|
|
| Currently, 68 coal power plants are operating with illegal free passes. |
| That means more sickness and higher medical bills for families who live near these plants. Mercury, arsenic, and other sickening pollutants are known to damage kids’ brains, cause cancer, and make it harder for people to breathe. |
| Communities deserve health protections from cancer-causing pollution, not to be the victims of backroom deals. |
| This administration continues to completely disregard the law, but the courts remain a powerful tool. |
| Our movements’ victories have reined in this administration and made a vital difference on the ground. And I have seen the power of diligent legal work that step by step builds a better future on Planet Earth. |
| Friend, our ability to fight for our planet in court has always depended on you. Earthjustice’s 200+ attorneys represent our clients free of charge, so our litigation is 100% supported by charitable donations. |
| We need to hit our fiscal year goals by June 30, which is also when our $2:$1 match expires. Please make a donation today to help protect the rule of law, our planet, and our communities. |

|
| Thank you for your ongoing partnership in these fights. |

Sincerely,
Nicholas Morales
