Friend — Funding for the government runs out at the end of the month, and time is running out to stop a shutdown. Extreme MAGA members of Congress are threatening to grind the federal government to a halt unless Democrats agree to massive cuts to clean energy, community protections, and environmental justice.

Leaders in Congress are under enormous pressure to reach a budget deal before a shutdown happens — which means that anything could be on the table. We must step up our campaign to make sure Congress rejects extreme proposals that gut environmental protections.

The best thing you can do right now is renew your LCV membership. Right now, all it takes is $5. Because this fight is so important, every contribution is being TRIPLE MATCHED through the end of the month >>

Here’s where things stand: Extreme MAGA Republicans are dead set on undoing the popular federal investments in clean energy and climate progress in the Inflation Reduction Act and cutting funding for critical environmental programs. They were already willing to let the U.S. default and crash the U.S. economy to achieve their goals — and now, they’re aiming to shut down the government, too.

LCV teams are on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers every day to make sure there are no cuts to clean energy progress or environmental funding in any spending deal. But we need to ramp up the pressure in a major way — on a tight timeline. We need activists making calls. We need to flood House and Senate offices with messages. We need to run ads and organize rallies with congressional champions.

But the truth is, this work is expensive — and with all the attacks on the environment happening in Congress from extreme MAGA Republicans this year, our resources are running low. What we need most of all is your support.

To keep our work going strong, we need to raise $30,000 before the end of the month. If everyone reading this right now were to pitch in just $5, we’d blow through that goal in minutes.

Please don’t wait until this triple match offer expires. Renew your membership today and help us keep the environmental progress we’ve fought so hard for. Even $5 can have a huge impact >>

Onward,
