| Dear Friend, |
| Today, Earthjustice is suing the Trump administration over its plan to offer up roughly 80 million acres of public waters in the Gulf of Mexico for oil and gas drilling. |
| This oil sale is scheduled to happen in less than 30 days, but we can still fight it. |
| Our lawsuit aims to stop this sale before it locks in decades of new pollution for coastal communities already overburdened by the fossil fuel industry and risks of catastrophic oil spills. It will also defend endangered sea turtles and the last of the endangered Rice’s whales that call the Gulf home. |
| In every case, we represent our clients for free, so we rely on your donations to fund our work. Thank you. We just announced our $1:$1 year-end match, so your gift will go twice as far. Can you donate today to help us fund our lawsuits, stand up against the Trump administration, and protect our future on planet Earth? |

| The Trump administration claims its offshore oil sale does not require an environmental impact assessment, even though it's expected to result in the production of more than 750 million barrels of oil and a harmful legacy of oil-and-gas infrastructure over the next 50 years. |
| This is just one part of the Trump administration’s offshore drilling agenda. Trump also intends to dramatically expand offshore drilling in the United States, including in places it hasn’t happened ever, or for decades, like in California and the far reaches of Alaska’s Arctic. |
| Between this illegal offshore oil sale and Trump’s plans to expand drilling in our public waters, this administration is endangering coastal communities that could see their ecosystems and livelihoods devastated by oil spills and toxic pollution. |
| Our best chance to stop this lease sale and Trump’s fossil fuel agenda is in court. |
| Thanks to our $1:$1 match, anything you give will go twice as far. Donate today to help fund our lawsuits and hold the Trump administration accountable. |
