Friend — MAGA Republicans recently filed a resolution in Congress to overturn historic limits on hazardous emissions from cars and trucks.
|
|
|
Here’s the situation: earlier this year, the Biden administration finalized the strongest-ever pollution standards for new cars — a huge win for our health, climate, and family budgets. Now, pro-polluter lawmakers are preparing to use the Congressional Review Act — a law allowing Congress to overturn final rules with a simple majority vote — to block those protections.

This is just the latest example of anti-environment Republicans doing the bidding of their Big Polluter allies at the expense of our communities. It’s up to us to stop them — we need to escalate our campaign to combat misinformation from polluters' army of lobbyists before Congress votes. And for that, we need you.

What we really need is for every LCV supporter to step up — right now. That means you, Friend. Here’s where things stand:
|
|
|
Tailpipe emissions from cars and trucks are the number one source of climate-harming greenhouse gas emissions and cause thousands of deaths each year — and if this resolution is enacted, it’ll mean worsening climate change and more deadly pollution in our air.
|
|
|
We’re working overtime to push back on these kinds of attacks — and we need your help to do more. If we can’t go bigger to bolster our champion lawmakers to protect our environment, we may not win the messaging fight about these critical protections.
|
|
|
We have a goal to raise $40,000 by the end of the month to keep our campaigns running full steam — and if everyone reading this right now pitched in just $5, we’d blow through that goal in minutes.
