Friend — we’re in a race against the clock as congressional Republicans threaten massive cuts to the historic clean energy investments that were signed into law last year. If they can’t force cuts, they’re working to put up obstacles and delay until implementation deadlines expire.

In moments like these, your membership matters. With your help, LCV was instrumental in securing passage of these investments in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) last year. We need a huge show of force this summer if we’re going to stop Republicans from gutting the law’s clean energy provisions, sabotaging the transition to electric vehicles, and approving even more dirty fossil fuel development.

To meet this urgent need, LCV is rallying environmental advocates in key states and districts across the country during Congress’s summer recess. We’re driving thousands of messages and calls into offices on Capitol Hill, demanding that legislators reject corporate polluters’ agenda. We’re holding events, town halls, and public meetings to call attention to clean energy projects at the local level.

We rely on the support of our members to make this all happen. The best thing you can do right now is this: make a gift to power our campaigns. Right now, all it takes is $5. Because this fight is so timely, every contribution is being triple matched through the end of the month >>

As the U.S. endures another summer of extreme heat, drought, and air polluted by wildfire smoke, it’s critically important that our nation keep moving forward — not backward — on climate action. This means making sure clean energy policies and projects are protected and implemented swiftly across the country. With the continued support of our members, here’s what LCV’s doing:

• Acting fast by maximizing our strong network of state affiliates, relationships with elected leaders, and partnerships.
• Raising public awareness to help ensure that people across the country know about clean energy progress and feel its benefits.
• Training and mobilizing elected officials to spread the word with constituents and fellow decision-makers.
• Defending the IRA against legislative attacks.
• Combating misinformation about clean energy to ensure that constituents hear accurate messaging from a variety of trusted sources.
• Making it politically popular to be a clean energy champion.

TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT >>

We can’t do this alone, Friend. LCV’s Summer Membership Drive will determine how hard we can fight for the safe climate future we know we must secure — one powered by clean energy that delivers good jobs, clean air and clean water for every community.

Without LCV members, we could not fund our environmental campaigns or fight back against corporate polluters’ ongoing attacks. Please, make a gift to protect climate action today. It only costs $5 >>

We’re happy to have you in our movement, Friend.

Onward,

Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
