This is unacceptable

This should not be business as usual.

Help put a stop to the oil companies’ greed and protect wildlife

Help us grow our powerful movement for our environment.

Oil spills and leaks in the US happen too often. And under President-elect Trump, we can expect even more.

Trump’s plans for our environment have devastated all of us who care about our communities, clean air and water, wildlife, and our planet’s very future. He’s promised not only more drilling, but more mining and fracking. All of which are heating up the globe to dangerous levels.

But this is no time to feel defeated. We are stronger than Trump and his fossil fuel industry allies—it’s time they realized this. Will you help continue to strengthen the Greenpeace movement with an urgent donation today?

Your gift will help put a stop to the oil companies’ greed, and protect wildlife and our communities by keeping fossil fuels in the ground — where they belong.

Last May, Shell spilled nearly 90,000 gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. Less than two weeks later, they caused a 20,000-gallon oil spill in California's Central Valley. They call these spills "accidents" but the fact is spills and failures are just "business as usual" for the oil and gas industry. And business as usual is unacceptable. We have to take bold action now. But we can’t do it without you, Kathleen.

Please donate $3, or more, to Greenpeace today to help protect communities and wildlife from new oil spills and to support our other critical campaigns for the environment.

In order to stay independent, we never take a dime from corporations or governments. Everything we do depends on the financial support of people like you! We are stepping up our campaign to keep fossil fuels in the ground. With your help now, we will work to:

  • Mobilize across the country to fight the sale of our public lands for oil, gas, and coal;
  • Stop fossil fuel extraction at the source, through global coordinated action;
  • Support coastal communities in the fight against offshore drilling; and
  • Demand that President Trump stand with the people and the planet — not the fossil fuel industry — to make the U.S. a leader in combating climate change.

The science is clear — we need to limit global warming to two degrees if we want to avoid the worst effects of climate change such as rising sea levels, droughts, floods, and crop failure. And one way we can do this is by saying NO to fossil fuels and saying YES to renewable energy.

Give a gift now to grow the powerful movement for our environment. Every dollar goes a long way to help protect our planet and our communities.

Thank you,

Mary Nicol
Climate Campaigner, Greenpeace USA
