Friend — I hope you’re following this story: congressional Republicans are rushing to overturn clean air safeguards. They’re aiming to use a loophole called the Congressional Review Act to overturn limits on harmful pollution via a simple majority vote. |

That’s not all — they’re teeing up even more votes to overturn lower vehicle emissions standards, throw out limits on toxic air pollution from power plants, and eliminate policies to remove harmful “forever chemicals” from our drinking water. |

This is bad — really bad — but keep reading. In just a few days, members of Congress will be back in their districts — and that means we have a narrow window of opportunity to defeat these dangerous plans before they go any further. |

The environmental movement needs to show up in a big way this summer — holding rallies, packing town hall events, and increasing pressure on policymakers to reject Big Polluters’ dirty agenda. And for that, we need you. |

Each year, our Summer Membership Drive determines how big we can go to fight for strong environmental protections. We’re gearing up for a massive push to protect clean air and water safeguards from Republican attacks, but we need your help to make it happen. |

To keep our work going strong, we need to raise $40,000 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: |
