DEVELOPING — unless Congress strikes a deal, major portions of the federal government will shut down a week from tomorrow.

Now, with only a few days remaining, we’re getting word that MAGA extremists in Congress are working to force anti-environmental riders into the must-pass budget deal. These include:

— Blocking implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement
— Eliminating the American Climate Corps
— A complete reversal of President Biden’s executive actions to combat climate change.

This is bad — and we need to stop them. LCV’s teams are on Capitol Hill right now, meeting with members of Congress and their staff, and going toe-to-toe with Big Oil’s army of lobbyists who are flooding lawmakers with misinformation.

But the truth is that we need more resources to keep the pressure on legislators and keep our work going strong. So, we’re asking:

Renew your LCV membership for $5 to power LCV’s hard-hitting campaigns to protect our climate and our communities. Every gift will be TRIPLED for a limited time, so please don’t wait — renew now >>

Here’s where we stand right now — can you confirm your status below?

That’s not all, Friend. As this is happening, Republicans are also intensifying their campaign to force a MASSIVE build-out for liquefied methane gas (LNG) exports after the Biden administration moved to pause new project approvals in January.

The climate impact of allowing this fossil-fuel build-out to move forward would be devastating. A new analysis revealed that the lifecycle of LNG emissions would be just as harmful as burning coal — and in some cases, it’s even worse.

To give an example, the proposed CP2 gas export project in Louisiana — if allowed to go forward — would have yearly climate emissions equal to 53 coal-fired power plants or 43 million cars.

Stopping LNG projects like this is critical — but it will take resources to organize, mobilize, and pressure lawmakers that we just don’t have right now. Can you help us close the gap?

The best thing you can do for our planet right now is to renew your LCV membership and power our hard-hitting environmental campaigns — even $5 helps. Please, don’t miss this chance to TRIPLE your impact >>

I’m grateful for your support, Friend. Together, I know we can win this fight for people and our planet.

Onward,
