| Dear Friend, |
| Today, I want to give you an honest look at the challenges we face — and explain why I’m asking directly for your financial support. |
| This administration is extreme, dangerous, and reckless. |
| Since taking office in January, the Trump administration has frozen billions in hard-won clean energy funding, dismantled clean air and water protections, and handed over vast swaths of our public land to fossil fuel giants. |
| They are not just rewriting the rules — they are breaking them, openly defying the long-standing laws meant to protect people, communities, and our planet. |
| The Supreme Court is barely better. |
| The Court’s conservatives are pursuing an extreme deregulatory agenda, enabling the worst impulses of the Trump administration. Last month, they dealt a blow to the National Environmental Policy Act — a critical law core to hundreds of Earthjustice victories. |
| We will never stop fighting back — and we are winning. |
| We’ve filed lawsuits to block reckless drilling projects, safeguard our oceans, uphold clean air and water laws, and protect vital clean energy investments. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve already secured major victories: |
- Restoring climate content to government websites
- Protecting funding to replace toxic lead pipes
- Blocking the sale of 73 million acres of the Gulf of Mexico
|
| Every win matters. But we can’t do this without you. |
| We represent our clients free of charge because justice should not have a price tag. That means you power every victory. |
| The future is being written in the courts — and we need your help. Anything you can give will go straight toward our fight for our planet and our future together. |
|
|
| Why now? |
| June 30 is our fiscal year deadline. What we raise right now will help determine how many attorneys we can hire, how many lawsuits we can file, and how many protections we can defend in the critical months ahead. |
| Additionally, our board is matching all donations $2:$1 until June 30, tripling your impact. |
| Why Earthjustice? |
| Because we know how to fight and we know how to win. We filed more than 200 legal cases against the first Trump administration and won 85% of the decisions. |
| We represent clients across all 50 states and in every major area of environmental law — from clean air and water to climate, wildlife, and public lands. We even represent groups like the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and the Environmental Defense Fund. |
| No other public interest organization staffs more environmental attorneys — and in every single case, we represent our clients for free. |
| Why you? |
| Friend, in challenging times like these, we must grow our movement in order to grow our power. Your support will help us protect our communities, defend the wild spaces we love, and fight for our future on Planet Earth. |
| Join us today with your first donation and it will be matched $2:$1 to triple your impact. |
|
|
| If you aren’t able to make a donation today, we understand, and we hope you continue to fight for our planet and our communities in other ways. |
|
|

Sincerely,
Libby Marsh
Senior Vice President of Development
