I hope you’re following this, Friend, because we’re calling on all LCV members for help right now.
MAGA House Republicans have just jammed through a slew of anti-environmental bills.
Each of these have already passed the House:
- H.R.764, led by Rep. Lauren Boebert, arbitrarily removes Endangered Species Act protections for the gray wolf (passed 209 - 205).
- H.R.6285 overturns historic protections for the Arctic, opening up pristine Alaskan wilderness to oil and gas drilling (passed 214 - 199).
- H.R.3397 blocks historic protections for public lands that would conserve wildlife habitat, restore places impacted by wildfire and drought, safeguard Indigenous subsistence culture, and expand outdoor recreation (passed 212 - 202).
- H.R.3195 forces lease sales to mining companies in Minnesota’s Superior National Forest near the Boundary Waters (passed 212 - 203).
This is bad — really bad — but keep reading. In a matter of weeks, members of Congress will head home for the Memorial Day break. That means we have a narrow window of opportunity to raise our voices against them and encourage champions in the Senate to stand strong against these bills even getting a vote.
The environmental movement needs to show up in a big way — and for that, we need you.
I can’t overstate how important this is — and how much we need you to renew your LCV membership right away to power our hard-hitting campaigns. Even $5 will have an impact.
Every day, LCV’s teams are on Capitol Hill talking to members of Congress and their staff. We are flooding offices with calls and filling inboxes with messages from environmentalists like you. We’re ramping up the pressure in a major way to make sure anti-environment forces in Congress can't enact their dangerous agenda into law.
But the truth is, a fight like this is expensive — and with all the attacks on the environment happening in Congress right now, 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 $45,000 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:
Renew your membership for just $5 right now, Friend. Our grassroots movement has the power to stop Big Polluter-backed Republicans from rolling back environmental progress — but only if everyone steps up.
Thank you for your support of our work.
Onward,
Gene Karpinski
President
