BREAKING: Trump taps science-denying oil exec for Energy Secretary. Renew your annual LCV membership to help fight back >>

Friend — Just days ago, Trump announced the intention to nominate a climate change denier and Big Oil executive to lead the U.S. Department of Energy. 

Chris Wright, the CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy, has said that “there is no climate crisis” and denies the scientific consensus that climate-fueled natural disasters are becoming more frequent.

From RFK Jr., to Dr. Oz, to Chris Wright — Trump’s presumptive nominees for key positions are so awful and dangerous that there is a mounting effort to block many of them — coming from both sides of the aisle.

We need your help. From the halls of Congress to districts across the country, our movement will do everything we can to keep climate deniers and conspiracy theorists from taking power over critical federal agencies that protect people and the planet. But the truth is that we need your help to make our campaigns work — so, we’re asking:

Please, make an annual gift to power LCV’s work today. Support from our members is what powers our work to protect the environment from Donald Trump’s pro-polluter agenda >>

“There is no climate crisis and we’re not in the midst of an energy transition either … the term ‘carbon pollution’ is outrageous.”

— Chris Wright,
Trump’s presumptive nominee for Secretary of Energy

Earlier this year, Trump made a simple offer to Big Oil executives: raise $1 billion for his campaign, and in exchange, his administration would pay them back in the form of tax cuts and rollbacks of important environmental safeguards.

By announcing his intention to nominate Chris Wright - a Big Oil executive - Trump is making good on his end of that scandalous deal with the dirty energy industry.

Combined with appalling presumptive nominees like RFK Jr. to lead the Health and Human Services Department, Trump’s Cabinet would be the most extreme and anti-science administration in our nation’s history.

There’s still a chance to defeat these radical picks, Friend, but only if our movement speaks out to demand it. With 50 U.S. senators needed to approve a nomination, just a few votes will determine whether Trump’s nominations succeed or fail. This means that what happens right now is absolutely crucial.

Please, help power our campaign to protect our environment and democracy by defeating Trump’s radical picks to head crucial federal agencies. Make an annual gift to power LCV’s work right now. Support from members will power our grassroots campaign, but we need to act quickly >>

Thanks for your support, Friend. Together, we can keep fighting to protect people and our planet from Trump’s deeply radical agenda.

Onward,

Gene Karpinski
