DEVELOPING — former President Trump just vowed to “terminate” a key environmental safeguard designed to keep arsenic, soot, mercury, and other toxic pollutants out of our air and water. Here’s what he had to say to a crowd in York, Pennsylvania: |
|
|
“...when I return to the White House, I will … terminate Kamala’s so-called Power Plant Rule” — Donald Trump |
|
|
If Trump is given the chance to make good on this threat, it would add 1.4 billion metric tons of planet-warming pollution by 2047 and cost countless lives in the communities most impacted by power plant pollution. |
|
|
Here’s the thing: As things stand, outreach efforts to environmental voters in swing states are still underfunded. There are hundreds of thousands of young people who care deeply about the environment who are at risk of not turning out this year. |
|
|
That’s way more than the margin of error. We need to fix this to win. |
|
|
LCV Victory Fund is aiming to launch a massive canvass operation to reach over a million voters face to face. We’re going to hit the pavement and the airwaves in major swing states where the environment is a key issue — and we’re targeting environmental voters who may not turn out if they don’t hear from us. |
|
|
Simply put, our efforts are underfunded right now. Can you help? |

Friend, we’ve already seen what happens when candidates in the pocket of Big Oil and other corporate polluters take power in Washington. Trump-Vance and their MAGA acolytes would mean more toxic pollution, an even faster-warming climate, and handing over public lands to destructive oil and gas drilling. |

|
Vice President Harris says it best: “We are not going back.” To protect our climate, our communities, and our health, we MUST defeat Trump-Vance and the MAGA movement in November. Here’s what Harris said when accepting the Democratic nomination last week: |
|
|
“In this election ... fundamental freedoms are at stake ... The freedom to breathe clean air, and drink clean water, and live free of the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.” — VP Kamala Harris |
|
|
To protect our climate, our communities, and our health, we MUST defeat Trump-Vance and the MAGA movement in November. If everyone pitches in to help, LCV Victory Fund can continue to run campaigns across the country to make sure that happens. |

Thank you for your tireless support for our environment. We’re so grateful to have you by our side in this fight. |
