Friend — as Trump prepares to take office, he’s just called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to advance a budget package that includes virtually all of his MAGA priorities. This bill is coming together now, even before Trump is sworn in.

Included in the demand are MASSIVE tax cuts for the wealthy. They’re paid for, in part, by selling off public lands for dirty oil and gas drilling. Republicans are aiming to use a process called budget reconciliation to push this legislation through Congress with a simple majority vote.

Whether we can stop Trump’s “one big, beautiful” bill could really come down to our work, with our state affiliates, to persuade and pressure members of Congress not to turn their backs on our public lands and the affordable, job-creating clean energy boom.
|
|
|
This is going to be a tough fight, Friend, but Republicans’ majorities in the House and Senate are razor thin. That means pressure from our movement can make a real difference — even a couple votes could completely stall out their dirty agenda.

LCV’s expert lobbying team is on Capitol Hill every day talking to members of Congress and their staff. At the same time, our supporters are flooding lawmakers’ offices with messages demanding they protect people and the planet.

During Trump’s first term, LCV’s campaigns helped stop some of the worst attacks on the environment and giveaways to polluters. It took enormous pressure — in Congress, in states, and even in the streets — but we blocked pipelines, saved public lands, and pushed forward clean energy, EVEN with Trump in office.
|
|
|
We’re just getting started, Friend. With anti-environmental majorities controlling Congress and the White House, we’re ramping up the pressure in a major way to protect our communities, our health, and our planet’s future. Join us!
