Friend — last week, we wrote to you about Russell Vought, one of the key authors of the radical Project 2025 agenda, who Trump has picked to lead the federal budget and regulatory office. |
|
|
Vought and his pro-polluter allies will be ready on Day One to gut environmental protections, slash clean energy investments, and approve massive new drilling operations that put our climate and communities at risk. We need your help to respond. |

DEVELOPING — Donald Trump has just picked Russell Vought, an anti-environmental extremist, to lead the federal budget office. As head of the Office of Management and Budget, Vought would be positioned to drastically cut environmental enforcement and clean energy. |
|
|
In a leaked speech delivered to far-right political donors, Vought said that he wants employees tasked with protecting our environment to “feel trauma” and has called for their funding to be “shut down.” |
|
|
LCV’s teams are ready to fight Trump’s agenda in Congress, in the states, and in the streets — but the truth is that we rely on support from our members to make our work possible. That’s why we’re aiming to raise $25,000 from LCV members before December 31. |
|
|
As you’re reading this email, Donald Trump is assembling the most dangerous anti-environmental administration in history. In addition to Vought, Trump plans to nominate Chris Wright — a Big Oil CEO — to lead the Department of Energy. Wright is a science denier who has said “there is no climate crisis.” |
|
|
Their views may sound unbelievable, but make no mistake: Trump’s extreme nominees will be ready on Day One to do polluters’ bidding and attack our environment and our democracy. |
|
|
At LCV, we’ve fought Trump’s dirty agenda before, and we’re ready to do it again. We’re working with allies, elected leaders, and supporters across the country to limit or block the damage a second Trump administration can do. But we rely on support from LCV members to make our campaigns work. So, we’re asking: |
|
|
Thanks for standing with us, Friend. Supporters like you inspire us every day to fight for people and our planet. |
