Friend, I’m worried. We are staring down a second Trump administration. The major progress California has made on addressing climate change, from our clean water initiatives to becoming the state with the most electric vehicles in the nation, is at risk.(1) Under Trump’s Project 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency could literally be weaponized against us. With the people power of members like you, Courage is in a unique position to support the fight against these threats, like with our ambitious endeavor of launching a Congressional Watch Hub. You, too, can support the fight make a difference for us and for and help protect California and our nation's progress with an investment in critical accountability tools to courageously face the moment -- and your gift will be doubled by a generous donor!
In his first term, Trump successfully rolled back nearly 100 environmental protections and entirely gutted the EPA.(2) His plans for the next term can be summed up by his plans for Day 1: “Drill, baby, drill.”(3) Californians own 35% of the nation’s electric vehicles, but Trump wants to take away all of the incentives that make them affordable. And he promised Big Oil he would make manufacturing electric vehicles harder.(4) Our Congressional Watch Hub will keep a close eye on any attempts by our legislators to harm our environment, make vehicles more expensive for consumers, and anything else that will put corporations over people. And then we will mobilize California to stop those efforts. We work on a shoestring budget with the smallest possible team, but we must meet our fundraising goal by the end of the year if we are to keep these projects going. The good news is that thanks to a generous donor, every dollar you give will go twice as far -- $10 means $20, $50 means $100 -- in the fight for a progressive California! Please rush a year-end donation to Courage Californai and have your gift DOUBLED, up to $10,000! Thank you for being with us. –Irene, along with Annie, Angela, Isidra, Cecilia, Jen, and Lindsay (the Courage team)
