Friend, we’re getting down to the wire.

Without a budget deal, the government will shut down next week — and extreme MAGA members of Congress are still threatening to hold the federal government hostage unless Democrats agree to massive cuts to clean energy, community protections, and environmental justice.

With Congress under enormous pressure to avoid a shutdown, anything could be on the table in budget negotiations. We only have a few days left to make sure any proposed funding deals don’t gut environmental protections.

LCV has teams on Capitol Hill right now. We’re organizing grassroots pressure on critical members of Congress. We need to keep this up until environmental priorities are secure and the government can stay open — and we need your help.

At this moment, the best thing you can do to protect the environment is renew your LCV membership to power our campaign. Even $5 will have a huge impact. Right now, we have a triple match offer on the table, meaning anything you give will be matched by a generous donor and go THREE TIMES AS FAR.

At LCV, we believe elected leaders need to be doing more, not less, to protect people and the planet. We’re already living with the consequences of climate change and pollution — with dangerous heat, destructive wildfires, more frequent hurricanes, and other threats wreaking havoc on our communities.

But instead of addressing the climate crisis, extreme MAGA Republicans are manufacturing a crisis of their own.

They’re demanding funding cuts that would leave the federal government unable to address pollution in overburdened communities, accelerate the clean energy transition, and meet our environmental justice goals, and would gut federal agencies’ capacity to ensure basic environmental protections for our air, land, water, and health. We can’t let that happen.

Friend, this will be the biggest environmental showdown this year. Renew your LCV membership for $5. Give today and your donation will be TRIPLE MATCHED >>

Thank you for joining us to keep the pressure on Congress when it matters most!

Onward,

Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
