| Kathleen,
It has been a little over a week since all of us in the resistance movement were reeling from the appointment of notorious climate denier Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental Protection Agency.
As an immediate response, our Executive Director, Annie Leonard, announced an urgent RESIST supporter drive to fuel the resistance and prepare for the fall-out of Pruitt’s new power over our country’s climate resources. We’ll never stop fighting for our environment — and I know you won’t either, Kathleen.
Will you join our RESIST supporter drive to fight back against Trump and Pruitt’s dangerous anti-climate agenda and support Greenpeace’s critical environmental campaigns?
The Trump administration's attacks on our environment are starting to pick up. Once Pruitt was appointed, it didn’t take him long at all to mention his plans to dramatically slash climate and water pollution regulations.1 And reports emerged last week indicating that Trump plans to sign multiple executive orders significantly limiting the EPA’s ability to fight climate change, scrapping regulations that curb emissions from power plants and protect waterways from pollution.2
In light of the these increasing threats to our communities and environment, we’ve increased our goal to 1500 supporters by tomorrow. Make an urgently-needed gift today to protect our environment and communities from threats like Donald Trump and his gang of climate deniers and polluters.
Thank you,
Shana McMahon
Climate Team, Greenpeace USA

Kathleen-
All day, every day, we're seeing an “unpresidented” amount of terrifying news from Trump and his administration. Friday’s appointment of climate denier extraordinaire, Scott Pruitt, to lead the EPA was the latest devastating blow.
It would be easy for us all to give in to despair right now. But I refuse to give in to that. Let’s not forget: hope is the ultimate act of resistance. And we have reason to hope. People are uniting, rising up, and resisting the Trump agenda — and then getting up the next day and resisting again.
There’s strength in numbers and we need to grow our Resistance now. We only need 1,000 donors in the next 10 days to keep going strong. Will you be one of the 1,000 ready to resist, Kathleen, and make a gift right now?
Trump is dealing blow after to blow to our people and communities with shocking executive orders. He’s trying to build more oil pipelines and increase coal extraction when we need to keep fossil fuels in the ground. And a former Exxon-Mobil executive is serving as Secretary of State, a climate denier was appointed to the EPA, and Congress is attacking clean air and water which could make billionaires richer and make the rest of us suffer.
But we will never let them take our hope and our sense of purpose. It is an act of resistance to wake up every day and have hope in the face of so much ugliness. And the best way to sustain hope is to participate in solutions. You can do that with a donation today.
When you give today, you’ll stand in solidarity with a powerful, diverse movement saying “keep it in the ground” from the Arctic to the Amazon. You’ll help our fight for clean energy and to expose the influence of corporate polluters and hold them responsible. And you’ll be a key part of our public resistance to a frightening agenda that seeks to divide us.
There is so much good work going on at Greenpeace. We need you with us, hopeful and strong, for the long struggle ahead. Please help us reach our supporter goal and give today.
For a sustainable and just world for all,
Annie Leonard
Executive Director, Greenpeace USA
P.S. We’re on the side that’s right, and we have the momentum. The other side wants to destroy our spirit. They want us to give up. But that’s not who Greenpeace is — that’s not who YOU are. We are The Resistance — and so are you. We need everyone stepping up stronger than ever to grow our movement and protect our planet Earth. Please stand up and be counted; donate today.  |
