   John,
   Donald Trump just launched a devastating new attack on endangered species
   that could set off a global extinction crisis. And together WE are going
   to stop him.
   Right now, one of the world’s strongest wildlife laws protects hundreds of
   species – from grizzly bears and sea otters to sperm whales and polar
   bears. But Trump is moving quickly to rewrite the rules so that destroying
   an endangered animal’s habitat no longer counts as harming it.
   It would be one of the biggest rollbacks of wildlife protections in
   HISTORY – which is why Ekō is launching a massive global campaign to stop
   this attack.
   Together, tens of thousands of us already overwhelmed a public comment
   period and now our rapid response team is getting ready to massively scale
   up. If all of us chip in we could work every connection we have in DC,
   unleash winning legal strategies to stop this plan from ever becoming
   reality, and power grassroots organising wherever it’s needed.
   We’re ready to launch, but campaigns like this take resources. Can you
   urgently chip in to power the resistance to stop Trump?

   Since the Endangered Species Act passed U.S. Congress in 1973, it’s been
   one of the most successful laws ever to exist, saving 99% of species it
   protects from extinction. It stopped majestic species like the bald eagle
   and humpback whale from being completely wiped out.
   But all Trump sees is profits – and so he’s hell bent on opening up
   protected lands to the highest bidder, paving the way for corporate
   destruction. Oil and gas giants would then be free to bulldoze forests,
   drain wetlands, and flatten ecosystems – and face zero consequences, even
   if species go extinct.
   A public comment period just ended and now Trump and his team are racing
   to finalize their proposal to quickly open more lands up for exploitation
   by Trump’s corporate friends.
   But here’s the thing: killing off precious species like polar bears is NOT
   a popular move. Momentum is building as the public begins to understand
   what Trump is doing – and now OUR movement can come together and power the
   legal action necessary to stop Trump in his tracks.
   This isn’t just about protecting vulnerable species – it’s about corporate
   greed, climate destruction, and a dangerous precedent that could put
   ecosystems around the world at risk.
   But the fight isn't over yet because we are just getting started. Can you
   urgently chip in to stop Trump’s attacks on our planet?
