This story is still developing. A series of polls have just been released showing support for Trump dropping in a number of swing states. At the same time, states where environmental candidates had been trailing climate change deniers are suddenly opening up.

What we do next could very well decide control of the House, Senate, and White House.

Today, we're asking for your help — but it needs to be now. Tuesday morning, our campaigns team is meeting to assess the resources we have and exactly where we can deploy them.

I hope you'll help, if you can. Please, donate to the LCV Victory Fund today. Your contribution will be tripled up to $250,000 »

Right now, while we're in the middle of a grossly mishandled disaster, there's a question that keeps me up at night: What am I doing to prevent another catastrophe for our kids, grandkids, and planet — while I still have the chance?

I'm speaking, of course, about climate change. And what haunts me is the knowledge that we have only 10 years left to avoid devastating climate catastrophe.

Like COVID-19, the impact will be massive and global. But also deeply personal. I've got kids. Maybe one day I'll have grandkids. Knowing what we are saddling them with — knowing that their lives and futures will be shaped by climate-related disasters and hardships that we could have prevented — is beyond troubling. I know, and I'll bet you do too, that if we are to prevent more catastrophes, it's now or never.

And by "now," I do mean NOW. What we do today, next week, this month could very well decide control of the House, Senate, and White House. It could very well decide what kind of world we're leaving to our kids and grandkids.

I don't say these words — nor ask for your help — lightly. LCV Victory Fund has a chance to flip the Senate to a pro-environment majority if we act now »

We have all experienced the deadly consequences of denial, stalling, and failed leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. We now know what happens when leaders squander the most precious resource we have: time. We must not let this tragedy repeat itself with climate.

I'm asking you today to ask yourself the question that I've asked myself countless times: What did I do to prevent a catastrophe for our children and grandchildren while we still had time? I hope you'll answer it with how you're getting in this fight today to keep a pro-environment majority in the House. A pro-environment majority in the Senate. And a pro-environment president in the White House.

There's a clear path to victory here — but to really walk that path — we need you. We're aiming to target 3 million environmental voters who either voted third-party or stayed home in 2016. We're aiming to go big in key media markets to educate people on Trump's anti-environment and anti-science record. And we're preparing to launch a massive Vote-by-Mail program to educate these voters on how to safely vote this cycle. None of this will be possible without your help.

The investments we make now — when voters are still shaping their opinions of candidates in key races — will decide this election. I promise you, your contribution will have a real and direct impact on the outcome of this race — and the future of this planet.

Please, donate to the LCV Victory Fund today. Every contribution before the end of the month will be tripled »

I hope you'll pitch in today — and ask your friends, family, and neighbors to join this fight, too. We can — we must — save our planet and secure a just, equitable future for everyone, but we cannot do it alone.

Sincerely,

Pete Maysmith
