Every season, mama bears and their vulnerable cubs face the threat of violent death at the hands of heartless trophy hunters. Now, with state-level hunting laws getting even more brutal and federal wildlife protections at risk, we could see grizzly populations DECIMATED in no time. But this Earth Day, we’re fighting back for these majestic species and the planet we share with them – and we’re counting on you to stand with us before it’s too late. [Please, make a membership gift now – before 11:59 p.m. tonight – to help Friends of the Earth protect vulnerable species, the crucial habitats they need to thrive, and our planet. Every dollar will be DOUBLED, up to our $90,000 Earth Day goal, so your impact can go twice as far for our planet and all its inhabitants.]( If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [Donate $10 immediately →]( [Donate $27 immediately →]( [Donate $50 immediately →]( [Double another amount]( Last winter, mama bears could have been safely sheltering in their dens and caring for their newborn cubs. But because of anti-wildlife policies, it’s completely legal for hunters to MURDER sleeping bears in their dens! This spring, as the surviving bears emerge from hibernation, weak and hungry mamas use the last of their strength to forage for food. But they’re being GUNNED DOWN before they can make it back to their helpless cubs! That means baby bears are left to STARVE and FREEZE to death! It’s bad enough that trophy hunters' bloodthirsty acts are decimating the next generation of bear cubs before they get a fair chance at life! But now, they’ve formed an alliance with fossil fuel corporations to ATTACK the Endangered Species Act (ESA)! That means they could roll back lifesaving protections for wildlife and unleash climate-wrecking, mega-polluting projects on our public lands! [Brown bears along a waterfall.]( [RUSH A MATCHED GIFT NOW]( Here’s the situation: The ESA is one of our strongest tools to BLOCK greedy corporations from mining, drilling and fracking our forests into total destruction. This law is a lifeline for vulnerable wildlife, but we also rely on it to protect communities from air pollution, contaminated water and exploitative industrial developments. And with the climate crisis more urgent than ever, we need the ESA to help rein in fossil fuel emissions and halt climate change before it’s too late. That means we can’t afford to let this anti-environment coalition of brutal hunters and dirty corporations rip this lifesaving legislation away from us. We don’t have a minute to waste in this fight. The survival of our wildlife, the health of communities and the future of our planet are at stake. [So please, don’t miss this chance to have TWICE THE IMPACT in this urgent fight. Make your membership gift of $10 or more to Friends of the Earth now – while every dollar can be MATCHED – so we can hit our crucial $90,000 goal this Earth Day to protect our planet and everything that lives on it.]( Standing with you, Raena Garcia Senior Fossil Fuels and Lands Campaigner, Friends of the Earth Contact Us Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA PO Box 7010 Merrifield, VA 22116-7010 1-877-843-8687 [Contact Us]( Email Preferences [Unsubscribe]( Learn more [foe.org/about-us]( [foe.org/news]( [foeaction.org]( Connect [Friends of the Earth on Facebook]( [Friends of the Earth on Twitter]( [Friends of the Earth on Flickr]( © 2024, Friends of the Earth.
