This year,
with your extraordinary support,
our lawyers were fighting for our planet
in courts across the country.
2019 was a year of challenges, for the environment and the climate.
But the biggest story of the year?
In this defining moment
for our country and our climate,
2019 was a year of
phenomenal legal victories,

because of you.
