Friend, it's critical you step up today.? ? ? ? ? Friend ? we've just got word that the Trump administration is preparing to fast-track uranium mining operations around Bears Ears and the Grand Canyon.

THIS. CANNOT. HAPPEN.

Pro-environmental lawmakers in the House just voted to block fast-tracking uranium mining on public lands like this. If the provision makes it into the final budget, it's a game changer ? we save millions of acres of public lands.

But right now, there are a handful of key senators who are on the fence. We need to raise the stakes on this vote AND ramp up the pressure on Mitch McConnell to call a vote on the House bill. That means organizing calls, rallies, protests, demonstrations, and grassroots lobbying. We can't do it all ? not without your help.

A major donor has agreed to contribute $500,000 to fund our campaigns for the rest of 2019 ? only IF 10,000 people pitch in first. Even $5 gifts count.

The best thing you can do to help right now is renew your membership for 2019. Right now it only costs $5.

Please, friend ? renew your membership with LCV today for $5 or more ? [link removed]

Friend ? it's so important to recognize that right now, we CAN make a difference. With your help, the environmental movement is resisting in so many ways: filing lawsuits against the Trump Administration, forcing dangerous officials like Bill Wehrum out of office, passing a pro-environment budget in the House, and raising our voices against the near-daily attacks on our public lands, endangered species, and clean air and water.

The Summer Membership Drive is one of the most important campaigns of the year for LCV ? it's when we bring in the bulk of our funding to keep our work running for the rest of the year. Right now, we're up against some of the biggest challenges we've ever faced, and that means we need a bigger LCV membership to stand with us at the frontlines of this fight for our environment.

If you're still on the fence about chipping in, here are five more reasons renewing your LCV membership is so important right now: Because LCV is suing the Trump administration. Three months ago, we won our case to block the Trump administration's plans for drilling in the Arctic Ocean and key portions of the Atlantic. The administration just filed a last-minute emergency appeal, which means we're going back to court. If we win, it means we secure a permanent offshore drilling ban for huge parts of our oceans, but we need to stay on top of every new threat, procedural trick, and legal loophole that the Trump administration is exploiting ? we can't do any of it without your help, friend. [link removed] Because the 9th Circuit just gave the green light to Keystone XL. Earlier this month, a three-judge panel lifted an injunction that had blocked Keystone XL pipeline construction. TransCanada, the developer on this project, has said it's too late to begin construction this year, meaning we have a short window to block this pipeline before it's too late. We need to mobilize ? and fast. We've blocked Keystone XL before, and this is a fight I know we can win again. But only if we have you. [link removed] Because THIS is our moment to get climate change on the presidential agenda. With only 12 years to solve the climate crisis, the 2020 presidential election is the last, best chance for the U.S. to confront this crisis head on. The debates start this week, and LCV is elevating climate action in the 2020 presidential primary elections and working to ensure that the next president is committed to an ambitious plan to address the crisis beginning on day one. Join us. [link removed] Because a notorious climate denier was just tapped to lead the "Presidential Committee on Climate Security." This climate panel has the potential to undo the research behind nearly every climate change policy. William Happer ? Trump's choice to head this so-called climate change panel ? has repeatedly made offensive comments to defend his beliefs. We need to stop Happer and this panel here and now. None of this is possible if you don't step up though, friend. [link removed] Because your membership only costs $5 right now and could unlock an additional $500,000 gift. Really, friend ? any amount helps, and you can renew your membership today with a donation of just $5. [link removed] To keep our work going, we need to raise $250,000 before July 31st. If everyone reading this right now pitched in (even just $5), we'd blow through that goal in minutes.

Please, friend ? renew your LCV membership for just $5 today ? [link removed]
