First votes just hours away.? ? ? Friend ? Trump is hell-bent on opening our shores to coastal drilling and we are just hours away from the first votes on three anti-drilling bills in the House. These bills would halt oil and gas exploration in the Arctic Refuge and block offshore drilling in the Atlantic, Pacific, and eastern Gulf of Mexico.

We need you in this fight. Big Polluters will stop at nothing to stop these bills from passing and they are flooding Congress with their lobbyists. We need to get LCV membership activated and flooding calls to the House in support of these bills. This is a BIG DEAL. Please, please, please help.

? Gene Karpinski ? ? ? ? ? URGENT: MAJOR VOTES IMMINENT THAT COULD BAN OFFSHORE DRILLING OFF US COASTLINES AND STOP DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE

Votes in the House are expected Wednesday and Thursday ? but as it stands now, we're not sure we have the majority locked in. Our teams are pressuring members of Congress now ? but in the leadup to these votes, we need your help.

Please, donate today ? even if it's just $5. A donor is triple matching every contribution right now ? [link removed] ? DONATE NOW [link removed] ? ? ? ? ? Friend ? this is an all-hands-on-deck moment. We've just received word of major votes on Wednesday and Thursday this week ? we need your help.

Wednesday. Trump has been pushing hard to expand offshore drilling in US waters ? we've just been handed our chance at stopping him. H.R. 1941 is a permanent ban on offshore drilling and seismic testing off huge parts of our coasts.

Thursday. Trump is preparing to hand out drilling leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge this fall. To head it off, H.R. 1146 would ban drilling in the refuge ? just in time, before Big Oil gets its hands on these lands.

There are still representatives that are on the fence on this ? in the leadup to these votes, we need to be pushing hard to win these votes by large majorities.

To pull it off, we need to be raising hell. We're organizing calls, rallies, protests, demonstrations, and grassroots lobbying to flip these votes.

We're turning to each of our members to pitch in ? even if it's just $5 ? to make this campaign possible. If everyone reading this message right now donated, we'd break environmental fundraising records.

Friend ? a donor is triple matching every contribution right now. Please, this is a moment the environmental movement needs a show of force. I hope we'll hear from you ? [link removed]

Friend ? these votes are happening THIS WEEK, but September is gearing up to see some of the most important environmental fights of the year.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has opened Grand Staircase-Escalante to strip mining. They've fast-tracked uranium mining operations around both Bears Ears and the Grand Canyon. They gutted the Endangered Species Act ? and paved the way for a massive expansion of methane emissions.

Each of these attacks CAN be blocked by Congress ? and votes are already being scheduled. We need to be pushing our representatives now if we're going to have a shot at getting them through.

Friend, this month is absolutely critical for the environment, and the truth is our campaigns are underfunded right now. Can you make a triple-matched gift of $5 or more today? [link removed]

We're going to be in touch with updates as these votes proceed. Thanks so much for everything that you do.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
