Wow. The final number of new and renewed League of Conservation Voters members is 11,555 — and that means we were able to unlock a donor gift of $500,000. The influx of members and the donor gift is a huge boon at the exact moment we needed it the most.

I know you realize how important 2020 is to the future of climate action and protecting decades of sound environmental policy. LCV and our members will fight every hour and every day against the constant stream of Trump's attacks.

Late last week, Trump's EPA proposed reapproving the use of neonicotinoid pesticides, or "neonics," linked to declining populations of bees and other pollinators.

And that's on top of his attempts in January to gut the National Environmental Policy Act — one of our country's most important environmental safeguards — all to give polluters quicker turnaround on pipelines and other anti-environment projects.

Members like you stepping up in a big way is the strongest signal yet that we will be ready for 2020. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

And if you didn't get a chance to renew your membership — there's still time. You can renew your 2020 membership now »

We appreciate you and all you do for the environment.
