Friend, Congress has just one week to avoid a shutdown — unless we act quickly, House Republicans are going to grind the government to a halt to force poison pill riders that would halt critical environmental programs.
Here’s the situation: Republicans in Congress are fighting to expand dirty drilling, attack clean energy programs, and zero out funding for environmental justice.
Normally, these provisions are total dealbreakers for Democrats, but by putting the entire federal government in jeopardy, there’s now
enormous pressure on lawmakers to agree to deals that put the environment at serious risk.
We have a tiny window of opportunity to make sure that environmental protections aren’t on the chopping block. Real quick — can you help power our campaign by renewing your LCV membership today for just $5? An anonymous donor will TRIPLE MATCH all gifts for a limited time.
LCV is organizing quickly to mobilize grassroots pressure on Congress to reject any reckless anti-environment proposals. But at the end of the day, the impact our campaign can have will depend on members like you.
We just kicked off our January Membership Drive. It’s the most important month of the year for LCV — it’s when we bring in bulk of the funding for campaigns like this so that we can hold leaders accountable all year long.
The best thing you can do right now is to renew your LCV membership today. For a limited time, every contribution will be TRIPLE MATCHED. Even $5 can make a difference >>
LCV’s expert lobbying team is on Capitol Hill every day talking to members of Congress and their staff. Organizers are flooding offices with calls and filling inboxes with messages. We’re ramping up the pressure in a major way to make sure anti-environment forces in Congress don’t jeopardize our health or our planet’s future.
We need to activate every resource available RIGHT NOW — but with all the attacks on the environment happening in Congress, our resources are running low. The thing we need most of all is your support.
To keep our work going strong, we need to raise $50,000 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. Here’s where things stand:
Please, don’t let Republican leaders in Congress roll back some of our most critical environmental safeguards during the fight to keep the federal government funded. Renew your LCV membership for just $5 to power our hard-hitting environmental campaign while our TRIPLE MATCH is active >>
Onward,
Gene Karpinski
