8 Things You Can Do to Help NRDC Fight Trump’s Agenda

President Trump and his political and corporate allies are recklessly crusading to wipe out America’s environmental safeguards, put the interests of polluters ahead of the health of our communities, and derail the global fight against climate change. We refuse to let this happen on our watch—but we need your help. Here’s how you can join the fight.

1. Donate

In response to the first Trump administration's assault on environmental and public health protections, NRDC went to court 163 times. We won nearly 90 percent of all resolved cases. Contribute to NRDC’s Legal Fund to help our staff continue to fight back in court against the administration's assault on our air, land, and water.

2. Sign up

We’re ready to use our full legal muscle to stop the Trump agenda again—but whether we succeed or fail rests in part on how many of us come forward to fight back. Text NRDC to 61636 to sign up for urgent alerts as part of our community of more than three million members and activists. 

3. Combat misinformation

Among other ways he’s undermining climate action, President Trump has decided to pull the United States out of the Paris climate agreement based on the false claim that it will hurt the U.S. economy. This climate misinformation exaggerates the future costs of emissions reductions; underestimates advances in energy efficiency and renewable technologies; and outright ignores the huge health and economic costs of climate change itself. Let him—and everyone else—know why our future still depends on its success. Read our Paris Agreement primer, then share it with your friends. For more ways to stop the spread of climate misinformation, follow these tips.  

4. Call Congress

Pick up the phone. Tell your representatives to vote against the Trump administration's anti-environment agenda and instead vote for clean air, clean water, and healthy communities.

5. Make public comments

Before a new rule can go into effect or an existing one can be modified, governmental agencies, from the federal level down to the local level, typically offer public hearings to gather community input. These may concern everything from drinking water protections to air pollution controls. The more people the agency hears from, the bigger impact our voices will make. Get tips on how to make an effective public comment.

6. Become a hometown activist

Join a community environmental group or organize a neighborhood rally to advocate for renewable energy and sustainable practices in your hometown.

7. Find your joy

Connecting with nature remains a powerful way to destress and fend off feelings of hopelessness or isolation, whether from climate anxiety or otherwise. It’s also a healthy way to find the inspiration to move forward.
