We're falling short on our goal for #GivingTuesdayNow ? please, please don't sit this one out.? ? ? ? ? Friend ? on Saturday, a donor issued a $100,000 grant to the League of Conservation Voters in honor of #GivingTuesdayNow ? if, and only if, 1,500 LCV members pitch in before midnight tomorrow.

This is a stretch goal for us. And right now, with only 48 hours left until this deadline, we're falling short of this goal.

LCV's work has never been more critical than it is now. Trump and his administration have not only completely failed in their response to the COVID-19 crisis ? they have actually used it as an opportunity to wage war on the environment and to continue to devastate the health of communities of color and low-wealth communities who have already borne the brunt of their toxic agenda.

We are organizing to ensure that COVID-19 relief funds don't get diverted to the oil industry and other polluters ? so that help goes to the communities who need it the most.

In meeting this goal, small donations count the same as big ones. A single $5 donation could make the difference between being prepared to fight for environmental justice on all fronts ? or in scaling back entirely.

We can NOT afford to miss out on this opportunity. Please, friend ? make a gift today and help us reach our goal ? even $5 makes a huge difference ? [link removed]

The bottom line: The stakes have never been higher. We are gearing up for some of the most important environmental fights of our lifetime, in the middle of a global pandemic. It may feel overwhelming, but it has never been more critical that we stay vigilant and keep up the fight on ALL fronts.

Here's what we're up against: Under cover of the pandemic, the Trump administration has undermined EPA safety measures cutting mercury and other toxic air pollutants. These are pollutants that have already been linked to higher COVID-19 death rates all over the country. Amid a public health crisis, where tens of thousands of people are dying from a virus that directly targets the respiratory system, the Trump administration is actively making it harder for people to breathe. This is quite literally a matter of life and death. Make a gift to LCV today to help us force the EPA to do its job ? [link removed] These attacks on the environment disproportionately affect low-income folks and communities of color, who are already more likely to live in areas with high levels of air pollution, and therefore have a higher risk of dying from this virus. This virus is already targeting our most vulnerable communities, and Trump is deliberately making the problem worse. Please, make an emergency gift today ? [link removed] When we stopped Trump's attempt to score bailout money for the oil and gas companies in the first coronavirus relief bill, he turned around and added executives from the top oil producers to his official task force to re-open the country. Now they're trying to change the Main Street program meant to help local mom and pop businesses so huge indebted oil companies can get cheap loans instead. They are still pushing hard ? by any means necessary ? to get a bailout. You can stop them. Make a $5 donation to LCV today ? [link removed] On top of all of this, we must not forget that the most important election of our lives is coming up in a few short months, and it has never been more crucial that we elect environmental leaders who believe in science, at all levels. The environmental movement MUST be ready. The only way that's going to happen is if we continue to organize and mobilize, on ALL fronts. We need YOUR help, and we need it now! [link removed] Friend ? if we can get those 1,500 donations before midnight tomorrow and unlock that $100,000 grant, it will be a game changer for all of those fights.

Trump and his administration are deliberately ignoring science, and directly benefiting from this crisis. They know that their actions are resulting in the loss of even more lives. And they don't care.

We have a responsibility to fight back ? but we can't do it without you. This #GivingTuesdayNow grant is a HUGE opportunity for us. Just $5 makes a huge difference right now. Please, please, please ? make a donation now ? [link removed]

We wouldn't be able to do any of this work without your help, friend. Thank you ? for your support, for your generosity, and for everything you do for the environment.
