| EDF member—
At this very moment, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is building Congressional support for a "Resolution of Disapproval" that would cripple EPA’s authority to regulate carbon pollution from power plants—and would effectively halt all national efforts to address climate change.
Donate now to our Climate Action Fund so we can fight back and vigorously defend the EPA in support of the strongest possible climate standards.
So far, 643 members have answered the call by donating a combined $32,000—and counting. But we are still far from reaching our goal of raising $100,000 in the next 2 weeks to fight Sen. McConnell’s Resolution of Disapproval against EPA.
Will you join with your fellow members and make a contribution to the Climate Action fund to help us reach our goal?
Donations to our Climate Action Fund are not tax-deductible, but are used exclusively to fund our legislative and advocacy efforts, including:
• Sending scientific and economic experts to Capitol Hill to persuade legislators to support good legislation and oppose bad bills like Sen. McConnell’s resolution.
• Empowering our Environmental Defense Action Network of nearly 1,000,000 online activists to write their elected officials about the importance of protecting our environment.
We believe that the most effective way to make a difference is to work with people, not against them. But we cannot ignore the threat posed by Members of Congress who are openly hostile to climate action.
Please make a donation to our Climate Action Fund today so that we can remain strong in the face of these attacks and others that are sure to follow.
 Thank you for all your support,
Emily Stevenson
Manager, Online Membership
P.S. On Wednesday night, more than 70,000 EDF members participated in our teletown hall with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and EDF President Fred Krupp. EDF members did not disappoint, asking thoughtful and important questions. Both Gina and Fred underscored the critical importance of EPA action to reduce climate pollution in our country. Please keep EPA strong with a donation today. |
