This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.? ? ? ? ? Friend, I have HUGE news: A major donor has just agreed to contribute $500,000 to LCV ? on the condition that 10,000 LCV members also pitch in before the end of July.
This goal is important ? we're looking at what could be the most critical month of the year for the environment.
Right now, we are gearing up for a massive organizing effort on multiple fronts ? we're anticipating major moves on EPA health regulations, offshore drilling expansions, and a massive effort to sell out federal land all around the country.
For Trump ? this month could be his last chance to push through some of his most damaging policies. Congress will be out for much of August, and when they return the election will be in full swing.
Friend, this could be a game changer. We're asking every LCV supporter for help. In reaching this goal, small donations count the same as big ones. Renewing your LCV membership is just $5 right now ? and it could be enough to put us over the top.
Friend, will you make an emergency gift today to renew your membership and help us reach this critical goal? [link removed]
You may hear us saying this a lot in the coming weeks, but the stakes have never been higher. In addition to failing in his response to the coronavirus crisis and costing thousands of people their lives, Trump is using the pandemic as a cover to advance some of his most destructive policies yet:Since the beginning of the pandemic, Trump has rolled back EPA safety measures regarding the release of mercury and other toxic pollutants into the air. Now, he's quietly trying to make those rollbacks permanent. Amid a global pandemic, where thousands of Americans are dying from a virus that directly targets the respiratory system, the Trump administration is actively making it harder for people to breathe. This is quite literally a matter of life and death. Make a gift to LCV today to help us force the EPA to do its job ? [link removed] The Trump administration just announced they're seeking to confirm William Perry Pendley ? a racist, homophobic, anti-immigrant supporter of selling off America's majestic public lands ? as head of the Bureau of Land Management, our largest land management agency. The environmental movement needs to put up a huge fight. Donate today ? [link removed] Recently, a head-turning article indicated that Trump and the Department of the Interior are planning on opening up the Florida Gulf Coast to oil drilling but they're waiting till after the November election to announce the plan ? despite bipartisan opposition on many fronts. We need to make sure that doesn't happen. Make a donation today ? [link removed] Meanwhile, Congress is negotiating another coronavirus relief bill ? and Trump is still trying to find ways to get bailout funds for the oil and gas industry. We stopped him the first time ? and we can stop him again, but not without your help. Pitch in today and block his efforts to help Big Polluters once and for all ? [link removed] Friend, this is only a small fraction of what we're going to be up against in the coming weeks. I can't stress this enough: this $500,000 grant would significantly improve our chances of winning many of the fights we desperately need to win ? but first, we need those 10,000 members to chip in before the end of the month.
This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. If everyone reading this right now pitched in ? even $5 ? we'd blow through this goal in minutes.
Please ? don't wait. As I said before, this month will set the stage for the weeks ahead. Let's start off strong. Make a donation to LCV today ? [link removed]
Thank you for being a part of this historic fight. Together, we can do anything.
