DEVELOPING … as extreme heat, wildfires, flooding, and other effects of the climate crisis threaten people across the country, MAGA Republicans have just responded with a budget proposal that would put EPA funding at its lowest levels in more than 30 years, slash clean air protections, mandate dirty energy lease sales, cut environmental clean-up programs, and more.

Their response to a world on fire is burning down the firehouse.

Friend — this is BAD NEWS — and it sets up a major fight ahead to avoid a MAGA Republican-forced government shutdown. It is absolutely critical that we ramp up LCV’s campaign to stop them.

For that to happen, we need to mobilize — NOW. We need phones to be ringing off the hook and emails pouring into congressional offices from constituents. We need to rally support for protecting our environment in Washington D.C. and in states and districts across the country. We need to ensure that people’s voices are heard loud and clear — above polluters.

But resources are running low, and right now, we can’t afford to do it all — not without you. The best thing you can do right now is to rush an urgent gift to power our campaigns. For a limited time, every contribution will be triple matched. Even $5 can make a difference >>

In a few days, members of Congress will be back in their home districts for summer recess — meaning we have a narrow window of opportunity to get thousands of LCV members face-to-face with lawmakers to urge them to say No to:

• Slashing EPA funding
• Cuts to programs meant to address environmental racism
• Gutting clean air and clean water protections
• New dirty oil and gas lease sales
• Cutting clean water and environmental clean-up programs

This will be a HUGE undertaking — and we’re counting on the support of people like you to make it all possible. Here’s where things stand:
