Hi John,

As of just a few hours ago, the U.S. Senate passed the Reconciliation Bill,—a.k.a. Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill—which is the most anti-environmental bill of all time that will severely harm our communities. Although this bill no longer contains the horrific proposal to put 250 million acres of public lands across 11 western states up for sale, thanks to immense public pressure, it still includes cuts to vital community and environmental programs, like the historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). We have less than 30 hours left to turn the heat up on the U.S. House to get them to vote NO on this detrimental Reconciliation bill.

The cuts to the IRA would gut America’s clean energy production, raise energy costs for families across the nation, and eliminate thousands of jobs, all in the favor of billionaires and oil and gas executives. Our communities and environment would lose the funding already promised to them.

On top of this, cuts to lifesaving programs like Medicaid and SNAP would be detrimental to our communities. The federal government should work for us, not against us. We need to do everything in our power to stop the Reconciliation bill. Read the League of Conservation Voters’ statement here. 

As we saw from the removal of the public lands proposal, if we band together and say that this goes against our interest, we can get our lawmakers to change their mind. There’s not much time to go before this bill gets voted on by the U.S. House. Will you join us in putting pressure on your members of Congress now so we can stop this bill?

Let’s do this,

Britney VanCitters (she/her)
