I want you to know exactly what’s at stake and what NRDC is doing

Dear NRDC Supporter,

President Trump just signed Congressional
Republicans’ extremist budget bill. This sweeping new law will
raise energy bills for families, auction off our public lands for
extraction, and undo years of progress on clean energy and
climate action.

This is one of the most dangerous attacks
on our environment and our public health in decades. And the
consequences will reach every corner of the country.

Let me break down what’s at stake:

* Hundred of millions of acres of public
lands are now up for grabs for new oil and gas drilling through
mandated lease sales controlled by the fossil fuel industry –
including massive swaths of irreplaceable Alaskan wilderness.
* Wildlife habitats face devastating destruction. Critical homes
for caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, salmon and other iconic
species will be threatened by expanded drilling, mining, and
logging, especially in Alaska’s pristine arctic.
* Vast stretches of our oceans are at risk. The bill forces
offshore oil and gas leasing in the Gulf of Mexico and off
Alaska’s coast, exposing marine life and coastal communities to
the danger of oil spills and industrial pollution.
* Energy bills could rise by hundreds of dollars. This new law
could saddle American families with hundreds of dollars a year in
higher electricity costs within the next decade, at a time when
millions of Americans are sweltering under dangerous heat waves.
* It guts our hard-earned clean energy progress. Federal clean
energy tax credits that sparked more than $630 billion in
investments and created thousands of jobs are now on the chopping
block — all to make room for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.

This law isn’t just extreme, it’s a reckless giveaway to the
wealthiest corporations and Big Oil billionaires, paid for by
working families and the destruction of our national heritage.
It’s one of the most unpopular bills in modern history, yet it
was forced through Congress with a simple majority vote along
party lines, ignoring the will of the American people.

But this fight is far from over. And NRDC
is not standing down.

We are mobilizing every tool we have to
protect the places we love, the wildlife that depends on them,
and the clean energy future we deserve and we’ve worked so hard
to build.

* We are challenging the Trump
administration in court. NRDC’s legal team is already in court
confronting other environmental attacks by this administration
and we still believe the law is our best tool to fight back. Our
legal team is assessing every legal avenue to mitigate the worst
aspects of this law.
* We are holding polluters accountable. We are taking the fight
directly to fossil fuel companies and their funding partners, who
for too long have enjoyed a social license to pollute. When the
government fails to rein these polluters in, we’ll be there to
protect our environment wherever we can — from the courtroom to
the board room.
* We are talking directly to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. Our
advocates in Washington are pushing lawmakers to block further
attacks on our public lands and wildlife, and to safeguard the
critical protections that remain.
* We are protecting progress at state and local levels. State
capitols and city halls are paramount in the face of devastating
federal rollbacks. NRDC’s regional teams will ramp up our work in
critical regions to help cities and states act as a xxxxxx
against the federal fossil fuel agenda.
* We are keeping the truth front and center. NRDC’s science team
is working relentlessly to tell the truth about what’s happening
to the environment. We are making sure journalists, activists,
policymakers, and any community leaders have the crucial,
evidence-based information they need to ensure these
environmental attacks don’t escape public scrutiny.

I’ll state it plainly: this is an
enormous challenge, a true environmental crisis. But we’ve faced
enormous challenges before — and we’ve won.

When past administrations tried to sell
out our public lands, we stopped them. When they attempted to gut
bedrock environmental protections, we fought back in court and
prevailed. When they delivered giveaways to fossil fuel giants on
a silver platter, we mobilized millions to stand in their way.

This will be one of the greatest
environmental fights of our time. It won’t be easy. But together
we are powerful.

With the law, the truth, and millions of
determined people like you on our side, we can protect our
cherished wild places. We can defend the clean energy future our
children deserve. And we can win — again.

Let’s get to work.

With resolve,

Manish Bapna

President, NRDC
