	Friend — we wanted to make sure you didn't miss this note from Friday. Swing state polls in Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina are showing Trump gaining ground. We're looking at three proposals to go big on vote-by-mail efforts to turn out environmental voters in all three states. We can stop Trump — but as it stands, the budget just isn't there. Can we have your help? Every contribution to LCV Victory Fund is being triple matched right now — whatever you can afford is incredibly helpful, even if it's just $3 » See our note from Friday below. Thanks, friend. — Pete




	Friend— new polls out of Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina now have Trump gaining ground — putting each state within a few points. If he wins these states it's a serious problem — this is his path to victory. There's a shot at closing these states off to Trump — but we need to respond now. In each state, the data show that environmental voters will make up the margin of victory, but that mail-in-voting is the wildcard. Right now, we're looking at proposals from our campaigns teams to go big on vote-by-mail programs in all three states. The problem: this isn't in the budget — as it stands now, it looks like we don't have the budget to talk to all of the voters we need. We can't afford to let Trump take even one of these states, so we're reaching out for help. A group of donors is triple-matching every contribution right now — so we're asking: Donate to LCV Victory Fund. Triple your impact. Beat Trump in Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina. Even $3 is enough to make a difference here » Right now, Trump is exploiting a nation in pain. We're in the middle of a pandemic that is disproportionately harmful to Black, Latinx and Indigenous communities — and he's using it to dismantle the environmental policies and institutions that protect our children and families. Friend, the environmental movement — and whether we turn out or not — will decide Florida, Michigan, and North Carolina. But it's going to come down to mail ballots and the truth is this: major vote-by-mail campaigns will take resources we don't have right now. There are serious challenges for voters to overcome — lack of pre-paid postage, requirements that ballots be received rather than postmarked by Election Day, and signature match rejections. Right now, this what we're hoping to pull off: Engage 2.5 million voters, including traditional climate voters, young people, and communities of color. Make at least 2 million personal contacts with voters either via in-person canvasses (if possible), or more likely, via "virtual" canvassing with calls and texts. Send 1.7 million pieces of follow-up mail to voters who have yet to return their ballots, using tested and refined messaging techniques to maximize response. Generate more than 33 million impressions via extensive digital programming to help mobilize voters and push turnout through Election Day. We also have a critical opportunity to stop Trump in Florida specifically. Reports say that the Trump administration is setting up offshore drilling plans off Florida's coastline that will only move forward if Trump is re-elected. Environmentally, it's outrageous — but politically it's also incredibly unpopular in Florida. This gives us an opening. We will soon have teams reaching out to voters throughout Florida. We've also hit Trump with local ads on his offshore drilling plan. The early data shows there is a path to victory — but we urgently need to scale up. Friend — this is our shot. Remove Trump and his enablers, and we're in a real position to advance federal policies that put people most impacted by pollution and climate change — especially communities of color, Indigenous communities, and low-wealth communities — at the center of solutions, and leave a livable planet for future generations. I hope you'll help, if you can — when everyone pitches in, even small donations like $3 are a big help. Please, donate to LCV Victory Fund today. Your contribution will be tripled » Thank you, Friend — for everything you do.
