Friend — last week, Trump entered talks with Canada’s prime minister to revive the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Alberta through the United States.
|
|
|
The pipeline, which would transfer Canadian tar sands oil across the U.S. for sale internationally, was met with years of widespread protest. Reviving it would have the potential to irreparably damage sacred Indigenous sites, cause widespread water contamination, and further increase the extraction of dirty tar sands oil, all while padding the pockets of oil and gas execs.

We’ve fought Trump’s dirty fossil fuel agenda before and won. Together, we halted pipelines like Keystone XL, protected public lands, and advanced clean energy. We can do it again — but it’s only possible with the support of LCV members.

Right now, there’s an incredible opportunity to power our campaign to defeat Trump’s dirty agenda — a group of donors will TRIPLE MATCH all gifts up to $50,000 until October 31.

It’s not just the Keystone XL pipeline, Friend.

While federal agencies remain closed and essential services are shut down for ordinary Americans, Trump is moving quickly to approve more mining and drilling operations on public lands for his polluter cronies. Just this month, his administration approved 200 miles of roadway opening Alaska’s wilderness to destructive mining — ignoring opposition from local communities and people across the country. Trump officials also tried to sell off public lands to coal barons at cut-rate prices, but the polluters weren’t even willing to pay the discounted rate.

NOW is the time to expose and defeat Trump’s corrupt agenda — but we can only do that with your help. Everyday Americans' electricity bills are climbing twice as fast as inflation, with many of us seeing upwards of 10% increases on our energy costs.
|
|
|
A year before the midterm elections, polls show that Americans are fed up with rising costs and reject the Trump administration’s blatant corruption. Now is when they need to hear from our movement.

Thank you for being with us, Friend.
