NRDC Supporter, any minute, the Trump administration is expected to announce its final plan for opening Alaska's pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to dangerous oil and gas drilling. Oil company giants like Chevron could have drilling permits in hand and be ready to plunder the land for profit within weeks.

NRDC is ready to rush to court to stop the Trump administration as soon as it releases this disastrous drilling plan, but we need your help: Please make a tax-deductible year-end gift to help save the Arctic Refuge and protect our environment on all fronts. Give by 12/31 and an anonymous donor will TRIPLE MATCH your gift, up to $500,000.

The Arctic Refuge is a place like no other. One of America's most treasured public lands, it is home to most of our nation's terrestrial denning sites for pregnant polar bears ... a haven for shaggy muskoxen ... the birthing ground for the Porcupine caribou herd ... and vital to the culture and survival of the region's Gwich'in people.

But if President Trump and his allies have their way, the Arctic Refuge will soon be overrun with oil rigs, inflicting irreversible damage on the land, threatening countless wildlife, and exacerbating climate change.

Our best chance for saving this unspoiled wild place from Trump's attacks is the courts. Since Inauguration Day, NRDC has taken the Trump administration to court 100 times and we've won 92% of the cases that have been resolved.

Join our fight for the Arctic Refuge: Every dollar you give before the December 31 deadline will be TRIPLED so we can fight to beat back these assaults and defend our environment on all fronts.

I know that together we can stop Trump — because we've done it before.

When President Trump tried to hand over the U.S.'s Arctic and Atlantic coasts to devastating oil and gas drilling, NRDC took the administration to court — and this past Spring, we won, securing protections for 128 million acres of ocean and the marine life they support.

As we approach the final year of President Trump's term, the administration's attacks on our environment are escalating — and so are our courtroom battles to stop them. But fighting as hard as we can, for as long as it takes to win, requires unprecedented resources.

Will you stand with us by making a tax-deductible year-end gift? For a short time, it will be triple matched for 3x the impact.

Thank you for making out work possible. Together we'll save the Arctic Refuge.

Sincerely,

Niel Lawrence
Alaska Director and Senior Attorney, NRDC
