Friend — Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, and with Donald Trump headed back to the White House next month, this global day of generosity matters more than usual.

We’ve just been given a big opportunity: a major donor has offered to match up to $100,000 to fund LCV’s campaigns to protect the environment, preserve democracy, AND stop Trump’s dangerous agenda in 2025 — but there’s a catch:

We only get those funds if 1,000 grassroots donors ALSO renew their LCV membership before midnight on Giving Tuesday. Even $5 helps us reach our goal.

To help us reach this critical goal, we’ll send a free tote bag to LCV members who start an annual gift of $19 or more this Giving Tuesday.

Trump has Big Oil and fossil fuel interests on his side, and it’s going to take everyone in our movement standing together to disrupt his dangerous anti-environmental agenda. Here are just a few reasons why your Giving Tuesday gift is EXTRA important right now:

1. Because we’re up against a critical deadline to secure environmental progress before Trump takes office. Right now, we’re campaigning for the Biden administration to protect clean air and public lands, and for the Senate to confirm pro-environment judges before Trump’s inauguration in January. We’re counting on your support to safeguard environmental progress. Renew your membership now for just $5 >>
    
2. Because we’re fighting back against Donald Trump’s most extreme anti-science nominees. By nominating climate change deniers like Chris Wright — a Big Oil CEO — to lead federal agencies, Trump is putting polluters’ profits before people like you and me. We’re leading the fight to keep them from key positions. We can block these nominations, but only if the environmental movement shows up >>
    
3. Because we need to be ready on DAY ONE to oppose Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda. From abolishing the National Weather Service, to gutting environmental enforcement and allowing more toxic pollution into our air and water, to allowing more oil and gas drilling and infrastructure, Trump has laid out a blueprint for environmental disaster. We’re ready to fight this pro-polluter agenda in Congress, in the states, and the courts — but we need your help >>
    
4. Because a group of donors has offered $100,000 in matching gift funds. Bottom line: Your contribution goes further to support environmental campaigns that matter if you give now and help unlock this critical funding. Renew your LCV membership now for just $5 >>

Meeting our Giving Tuesday goal matters — now more than ever. I hope you’ll pitch in: Our match unlock goal is 1,000 donors, but it ends at midnight tomorrow. Renew your membership now for just $5 >>

And remember: if you start an annual gift of $19 or more by this Giving Tuesday, you’ll receive a free tote bag from LCV to show your support for the environment year-round.

Thanks for your support of LCV, the environment, and our democracy. We couldn’t do this work without you, Friend.

Onward,
