Everyone deserves clean air, clean water, access to our public lands, and a safe and healthy environment. LCV fights to protect these rights, and we are intent on doing so in a way that confronts the environmental inequities that disproportionately impact communities of color. For us, this means bringing people together to advocate for strong environmental laws and policy, holding elected officials and polluters accountable for their actions, and building a grassroots movement to elect pro-environment candidates.
Together, we can create change. Right now, we need you to speak out against Trump's pro-polluter agenda. [link removed] Please take action today and tell your members of Congress to fight back ? because our Earth is worth fighting for!

Trump just signed two executive orders that would rush construction of dirty oil and gas pipelines. Join us and demand that Congress fight back against this dangerous attack on our health and environment. ? SIGN NOW [link removed] ? ? ? ? ? No time to waste ? Trump just granted himself "inherent authority" to approve pipeline projects while ignoring health and environmental concerns. This could mean MANY more pipelines in communities throughout the country. Fight back now ? [link removed]
This is unacceptable, Friend. Trump just signed two executive orders that will greenlight oil and gas pipelines in states and communities that don't want them.
This is nothing more than another handout to Trump's Big Polluter pals at the expense of our health and environment.
Here's how we can fight back: Congress has the ability to step up and stop Trump's pipeline executive orders. But in order for that to happen we need to speak out ? our members of Congress are currently back in their districts for recess and it's critical that they hear from LCV members like you. If we show Congress just how opposed their constituents are to Trump's actions, we can push them to act. It's going to take all of us to stop these executive orders, can we count on you to join us, Friend?
SEND A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS: Listen to the people and STOP Trump's pro-polluter executive orders ? [link removed]
Let's be clear: Trump is using his presidential power to help Big Polluters build more pipelines more quickly and expand the use of dirty fossil fuels. Under Trump's latest executive orders, any state in the country could have dirty pipelines pushed through against the will of the residents. Since communities of color and low-income communities disproportionately live near oil and gas pipelines, these communities would face exacerbated risks of dangerous oil spills. We cannot put our communities on the line for Trump's polluter agenda.
These executive orders also could stall our movement away from dirty fossil fuels. Despite the clean energy progress happening around the country, Trump is trying to prop up the fossil fuel industry and keep the country hooked on oil and gas.
We can't let that happen: Late last year, the National Climate Assessment made it clear that if we don't cut carbon emissions from fossil fuels now, we are going to face food shortages, droughts, wildfires, eroding coastlines, and severe poverty. While Trump may be willing to support Big Polluters, dedicated LCV members like you know that it's now or never to change the course of climate change ? and that means leaving fossil fuels in the past.
Friend, the President should be prioritizing the needs of people, not polluters. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of LCV members have called, emailed, and rallied against the development of new oil and gas pipelines. Now, we must show our members of Congress just how urgent the need is to resist the blatant handout to Big Polluters and oppose Trump's executive orders. It's going to take all of us to build a movement to keep our communities safe from new pipelines and we need you. Will you add your name now?
Congress must hold Trump accountable: More oil and gas pipelines are all risk, no reward. Sign today ? [link removed]
Thank you for joining the fight.
