Midnight LCV Membership Deadline: Unlock $500,000 to fight the climate crisis.? ? ? Friend ? please read this ? the League of Conservation Voters has a must-hit critical fundraising deadline at midnight tonight ? and we are facing an emergency:

? we're looking at a massive fight over the final passage of the National Defense Authorization Act. Progressive lawmakers successfully added key climate and toxics provisions into the must-pass bill, but it's still in conference and a vote is expected in the coming weeks.

? Trump's EPA announced LATE YESTERDAY a dangerous, new polluter-backed proposal to scrap restrictions on huge piles of arsenic-laden waste from coal-fired power plants.

? And Trump's EPA also announced yesterday it will reverse an Obama-era decision to block Pebble Mine in Alaska despite significant, harmful effects on streams that feed Bristol Bay, which includes the world's largest salmon fishery and sustains numerous Alaska native villages.

We are taking on Trump in every way possible ? and winning. Our lawsuit blocked Trump's efforts to open up the waters of the Arctic Ocean for drilling and LCV members pushed disgraced EPA administrator Scott Pruitt AND Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke out of office.

We have a very real shot at winning on all three fronts ? but we need your help. A major donor has agreed to unlock a $500,000 contribution to fund our campaigns, but only if 10,000 members also pitch in before midnight.

We are still 98 members short with just hours to go. Renew your membership for $5 today.

Friend don't sit this one out. We're just 98 members short of our goal. Donate $5 to LCV today ? [link removed]

? LCV Membership ? ? ? ? ? Tonight is the membership deadline for LCV's Summer Membership Drive.

This deadline is a big one. Last month, a major donor offered to put up $500,000 to power environmental campaigns this year ? but only if 10,000 members also pitched in before midnight on 7/31.

Friend ? we're 189 short right now. We are SO, SO close. If everyone reading this right now pitched in, we'd blow through that goal. Even $5 donations count ? ANYTHING you can give makes a huge difference.

Can we count you in? Renew your membership with LCV today for $5 or more ? [link removed]

I hope you're with us on this, because this moment ? right now ? is a huge one for the environment.

Here's the situation: Lawmakers in the House just successfully added provisions to the Defense Department budget that would help fight climate change and curb the use of dangerous PFAS chemicals.

This defense bill is considered "must-pass" ? and the White House has threatened a veto, setting up a showdown that puts the whole military budget on the line.

LCV teams have been meeting on Capitol Hill to make sure these pro-environment provisions stay in. The conferenced bill is quickly coming up for a vote, and we need every possible resource to keep these amendments in.

I'm hoping we can count on your help ? if we win now, this could really be huge for the environment.

Your membership makes this work possible, friend [link removed] ? but winning this Senate vote isn't the only reason we're counting on you. Here are a few other reasons I hope we'll hear from you before tonight's deadline: Because LCV is suing the Trump Administration. Three months ago, we won our case to block the Trump administration's plans for drilling in the Arctic Ocean and key portions of the Atlantic. The administration just filed a last-minute emergency appeal, which means we're going back to court. If we win, it means we secure permanent offshore drilling ban for huge parts of our oceans, but we need to stay on top of every new threat, procedural trick, and legal loophole that the Trump administration is exploiting ? We can't do any of it without your help, friend. [link removed] Because Keystone XL just got a green light. Just a few weeks ago, a three-judge panel lifted an injunction that had blocked Keystone XL pipeline construction. TransCanada, the developer on the project, has said it's too late to begin construction this year, meaning we still have a short window to block this pipeline before they start work again. We need to mobilize ? and fast. We've blocked Keystone before, and this is a fight I know we can win again. But only if we have you. [link removed] Because THIS is our moment to get climate change on the presidential agenda. With only 10 years to solve the climate crisis, the 2020 presidential election is the last, best chance for the U.S. to confront this crisis head on. With the debates starting this month, LCV is elevating climate action in the 2020 presidential primary elections and ensuring that no candidate becomes president without an ambitious plan to address the crisis on day one. Join us. [link removed] Because your membership only costs $5 right now and it could unlock an additional $500,000 gift. Really, friend ? any amount helps, andyou can renew your membership today with a donation of just $5 ? [link removed] I really hope we'll hear from you before midnight, friend. Thanks so much for everything that you do.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
President
