Friend — last week, we reached out with the news that the Trump administration suspended enforcement of environmental laws, with no end date to the suspension.
Since then, we've been organizing in a major way. That means flooding House and Senate offices with calls and letters, exploring legal action, and organizing (online) around the country.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, running a campaign of this magnitude takes resources we just don't have right now. At LCV, we can stretch a dollar pretty far — but the truth is, funding is tight. A donor had agreed to triple match every contribution through yesterday — they just gave permission to extend one more day.
Please, friend — the best thing you can do right now is to make a donation before this FINAL DEADLINE — while you can make triple the impact. Even $5 can make a huge difference »
With one extra day in this campaign, here's where things stand right now:
FOR IMMEDIATE REVIEW: YOUR TRIPLE MATCH STATUS
Please confirm
Under cover of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration is cynically moving quickly to dismantle virtually every bedrock environmental safeguard we have. Just as coronavirus was starting to sweep the U.S., they put out a new proposal that will stop policymakers from using vast swaths of data from public health studies.
In the middle of a pandemic, they're restricting access to science. This is what we're up against.
With no set end date for the polluters' compliance holiday provided by the Trump administration, we need to work quickly to get the EPA back online. Every day it stays in place is a day pollution will be ramped up — putting public health directly at risk, especially in the midst of a respiratory disease public health crisis.
We need to raise the alarm as loudly as possible.
Anything you can pitch in right now will make a huge difference. We need to raise $100,000 by the end of the month to keep fighting on multiple fronts right now. News like this means that it is even more vital that we reach our goal.
We can't do this without you. We need to organize and get the whole environmental movement to raise hell, now more than ever.
Deadline: MIDNIGHT. Please, don't wait — make a triple-matched donation today so we can keep up the fight. Even $5 will make a huge difference »
Thank you, thank you, thank you, friend — for everything you do for the environment.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
