Friend — we only have a few days left to prepare for Donald Trump’s swearing-in as he promises massive threats to the environment on Day One of his presidency.

Trump has promised to overturn historic protections against oil and gas drilling in the Arctic as early as Monday. Also on his to-do list: opening up coastal waters and public lands to destructive drilling, and freezing funding for clean energy like wind turbines and electric vehicles.

Trump will be ready on Day One — the environmental movement has to be ready, too. We need your help, Friend. LCV’s January Membership Drive is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and how much we raise will impact how we respond to Trump’s Day One attacks and all our campaigns in 2025. 

For a limited time, a group of donors has agreed to TRIPLE MATCH all gifts to LCV, which means that right now, your support will go 3X as far.

The best thing you can do right now to prepare for Trump’s anti-environmental attacks is to renew your LCV membership for 2025 — right now, $5 is all it takes.

We have a real shot at defending environmental progress and disrupting Trump’s anti-climate, anti-democracy agenda, Friend. During his first term, our movement blocked pipelines, saved public lands, and pushed forward clean energy, EVEN with Trump in office. LCV even successfully sued to stop him from reversing permanent protections against offshore drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans.

We’re expecting Trump’s Day One executive actions to be bad, but they aren’t the only threats we’re facing. Here are just a few reasons why your LCV membership is so important right now:

1. Because Congress is preparing to pass a MASSIVE sweeping and dangerous bill — including virtually all of Trump’s most extreme priorities — in his first 100 days. That could mean mass deportations, rolling back clean energy and climate programs, and huge tax cuts for the wealthy, paid for by auctioning off public lands to Big Oil companies. We need to be ready to fight back, and we need your help >>
    
2. Because Trump is gearing up to reward his Big Oil donors with powerful positions in his administration. LCV is leading the fight against extreme nominees like Chris Wright, an oil and gas fracking CEO picked by Trump to run the Energy Department. He attended the 2024 dinner when Trump promised handouts to oil and gas executives if they helped to fund his campaign. We need your help to oppose these radical nominations >>
    
3. Because we need to be ready to oppose Trump’s dangerous Project 2025 agenda. From abolishing the National Weather Service (which warns people about storms and other life-threatening events), to gutting environmental enforcement and allowing more toxic pollution into our air and water, to allowing more oil and gas drilling and development on our precious public lands and waters, Trump has laid out a blueprint for environmental disaster. With your help, we’ll be ready to fight this pro-polluter agenda >>
    
4. Because 2024 was the first year to pass 1.5°C in warming, the limit set by the United Nations to avoid a worst-case scenario for our climate. The tragic wildfires wreaking havoc in Southern California are a reminder that there’s no time to spare in the fight against climate change. It’s going to take ALL of us to protect our planet’s future >>
    
5. Because, right now, your support for the environment will go THREE TIMES as far. A group of donors has agreed to TRIPLE MATCH all gifts, meaning that now is the best possible time to help oppose Trump’s dangerous pro-polluter agenda. Triple your impact: renew your membership today for just $5 >>

Friend, with so much on the line, it’s important that we hear from you soon. We hope you’ll join us in the fight for our environment in 2025.

Onward,

LCV Membership Team
