NRDC Action Fund Supporter,

"Toxic disaster." "An utter farce." "Abysmal."

These are just three of the countless and alarming characterizations policy experts have used to describe Donald Trump's destructive environmental record.

With good reason: The Trump administration has rolled back 85 major environmental safeguards aimed at protecting our clean air and water, public lands and national monuments, climate, and wildlife.

And they're rushing to roll back even more critical environmental protections before the end of this year.

We're fighting Trump every step of the way, but there's one surefire way to end this nightmare once and for all: We've got to do everything we can to make sure he's a one-term president.

That's why today, we're launching our Environmental Victory Drive to beat Trump and send a new class of environmental champions to the White House and Congress.

Help power our work from now through Election Day 2020 so that we have the resources we need to WIN. If you step up now, every dollar you send will be matched, up to $60,000 — doubling your impact on this all-important fight to boot Trump and his fossil fuel allies out of office.

We have one year until Election Day 2020 to build a campaign that will mobilize pro-environment voters to do just that. But our success next November depends a lot on what we do right now.

Your gift will enable us to focus on winning the most important House and Senate elections in key districts across the country ... mobilize grassroots activists to escalate overwhelming pressure on lawmakers and the president to protect the American people they serve, not fossil fuel industry profits ... launch targeted voter outreach to get more green voters to the polls ... and of course, boot Trump and his anti-environment allies out of office in 2020.

You'll also be helping us fight tooth-and-nail on Capitol Hill to oppose some of Trump's worst attacks on our environment and health, including:

• Ripping open Utah's Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments for dangerous drilling and mining. Stop them now >>
• Selling off the precious Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas companies. Stop them now >>
• Driving imperiled wildlife to the brink of extinction by gutting the Endangered Species Act. Stop them now >>
  
  
• Withdrawing the U.S. from the landmark Paris Agreement to drastically reduce the dangerous carbon emissions that are driving global climate change. Stop them now >>

We're fighting back in Washington and in city halls and state houses across the country. And our sister organization, NRDC, is fighting back in court.

But we're 12 months out from what is the most significant election of our lifetimes. Our communities, our country, and our planet cannot afford four more years of a Trump presidency. The thought chills me to my bones. That's why we must act now to get him and his allies out of office, while we still can.

All gifts made right now will go TWICE as far to push back on Trump's destructive environmental rollbacks, elect environmental champions, and break the fossil fuel lobby's control of Congress.

It's time to remove the politicians who have no regard for our health and safety ... who see dollar signs when they look at our stunning national monuments and public lands ... who gut the safeguards our most imperiled wildlife desperately need to survive ... and who fail to take climate change as seriously as we need to in order to avert catastrophe.

You can help make it possible. But we need you standing with us now.

Sincerely,


Kevin S. Curtis
