Friend — as you’re reading this email, Senate Republicans are gearing up to vote on a House-passed bill that would gut clean energy programs and mandate a massive expansion of oil and gas drilling on public lands and waters across the country. |
|
|
It’s all part of Trump’s signature legislation, which is the most anti-environmental bill we’ve EVER seen. If MAGA Republicans get their way in this billionaire tax scam, over a million acres of public lands will be turned over to corporate polluters and consumers will directly lose out on tens of billions in popular clean energy incentives. |

Today, LCV is kicking off our Summer Membership Drive — and it’s an important one. As we face down the most important vote of Trump’s presidency, how many members pitch in will determine how far we can go to stop his dangerous agenda. It’s critical that we show up in a big way right now, which is why a group of donors has agreed to triple match every membership contribution this month. |
|
|
Here are just a few reasons your LCV membership matters SO much right now: |
|
|
- Big Oil lobbyists are fighting to secure massive giveaways in Trump’s must-pass budget bill. The House has already passed a laundry list of policies to benefit their polluter friends: expanded drilling in public lands and waters, gutting clean energy programs, and ending environmental safeguards against pollution. Now, the fight heads to the Senate, where key senators are still on the fence. Renew your membership for just $5 now to help protect public lands and climate action >>
- Congress is already working to override the Clean Air Act, increasing tailpipe emissions and making our cars and trucks less economical. This action would make vehicles more expensive to own, worsen public health by polluting the air we breathe, and threaten state-based efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions. We’re working around the clock to stop their attack on clean air — but we need your help to keep going. Please, renew your membership today. $5 is all it takes >>
- The Supreme Court is limiting YOUR right to weigh in on projects that threaten the environment and your families’ health. In its recent ruling in Seven County Infrastructure Coalition v. Eagle County, CO, the Court gave polluters free rein to decide where to build toxic projects that will harm communities’ health. LCV is working for a democracy where the people hold power — not corporate polluters and MAGA judges. We need your help to keep going; please, renew your membership now for just $5 >>
- Because, right now, all contributions will go THREE TIMES as far. A group of donors has agreed to triple match every membership contribution this month — meaning that your support will make the largest impact to protect the environment if you respond today. Please, renew your LCV membership today to TRIPLE your impact. Even $5 helps >>
- Because $5 is all it takes to renew your membership right now. We rely on our members to make our campaigns for the environment a reality. You can renew your membership today for just $5 >>

Friend, LCV has shown — time and again — that when the environmental movement shows up in a major way, we win. |
|
|
In Trump’s first term, we were able to stop some of his worst attacks on the environment with the support of LCV members. It took enormous pressure — in Congress, in states, and even with peaceful protests in the streets — but together, we blocked pipelines, protected public lands, and pushed forward clean energy, EVEN with Trump in office. |
|
|
To do that again, we have to keep the pressure up — by flooding lawmakers’ offices with calls and messages, by showing up at hearings, and by appearing outside their offices. |
|
|
Thanks for everything that you do, Friend. |
