Catastrophic threat to our clean air and water: please read now? ? ? ? ? Friend ? This is BIG. News just broke that Trump's cronies at the EPA are trying again to restrict the type of research that can be used to draft environmental and public health regulations.

This means that the Trump administration is trying to block science from the EPA's development of environmental rules and regulations, and weaken bedrock environmental laws like the Clean Air Act. This is a HUGE win for polluters and a blow to all of us ? especially those in low-wealth communities ? who depend on the EPA for basic clean air and water protections.

We need your help! The League of Conservation Voters ? with our allies in Congress ? are mounting a response right now. Frankly, we need to raise hell and do so as quickly as we can, with everything we've got. We've been successful so far at keeping the Trump administration from finalizing this atrocious attack on science, our health, and the environment. We need all the resources possible to fight back.

Right now, you have a special opportunity to make THREE TIMES the difference: We just received word that a donor who had agreed to triple-match every gift through the end of last month has extended their match. Your gift, even $5, makes TRIPLE the impact.

The best way to stop Trump and his cronies is to make an EMERGENCY, TRIPLE-MATCHED, donation to the League of Conservation Voters right now. We need to mobilize on this issue YESTERDAY. Can you help? [link removed]

Scientists are raising the alarm that this change lets the federal government dismiss or downplay some of the most important environmental research of the past decades. That includes research that definitively linked air pollution to premature deaths. Vast quantities of key data will be out of reach for EPA scientists and policymakers. This change affects meaningful implementation of significant parts of the Clean Air Act and many more bedrock environmental laws.

Friend ? here's the thing ? there's a real risk this moves forward without a fight. The rule is a technical one. In the midst of the coronavirus crisis and the 2020 election, there's a serious risk that this flies completely under the radar.

We can't let that happen, but we need your help. To stop Trump and get science back into the EPA, we MUST get organizers on the ground and FLOOD the House and Senate with calls and letters. We have no choice ? science must remain the bedrock for how the EPA makes its decisions.

This campaign is going to take organizing at a grassroots level, lobbying in Congress, and potentially taking the Trump administration to court.

We need to raise $122,000 by the end of March to keep our work going strong. If everyone reading this right now pitched in just $5, we'd blow through that goal in minutes ? especially because, right now, every gift is TRIPLE matched.

Please friend, if the environmental movement doesn't turn out in a big way right now, the EPA's mission could be lost forever. Donate today ? even if it's just $5 ? [link removed]

Thank you ? for everything that you do for the environment, friend.
