If Congress fails to reach a budget deal today, the federal government will shut down at midnight tonight.
Yet extreme MAGA members of Congress are
still threatening to hold the federal government hostage unless Democrats agree to eviscerate environmental protections and climate funding.
We can’t overstate how important this is, Friend. House Republicans have already voted to cut the EPA’s budget by an unbelievable 39%, slash billions of dollars for the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and zero out funding for environmental justice.
Now, they’re going to
shut down the government in an attempt to force Democrats to agree to the cuts.
That. Cannot. Happen. We need a major show of strength from the environmental movement TODAY to ensure that Congress doesn’t cut critical environmental protections and clean energy programs during last-minute negotiations.
With so much on the line, what happens next will depend on our movement. The best thing you can do right now is renew your LCV membership before midnight — right now, your support will make THREE TIMES the impact. Even $5 makes a huge difference.
We can’t come up short here —
we simply can’t. We need to pull out all the stops to make sure extreme House Republicans FAIL in their quest to defund that environmental protections and repeal historic climate progress.
We’re counting on your support to make it happen. Can you confirm your status while there’s still time to make a difference?
Please don’t wait — give now when your support goes 3X as far. Renew your membership before midnight. Even $5 can have an impact >>
Onward,
Gene Karpinski
