Our only chance to stop him - details here:? ? ? ? Friend ? I hope you're following this ? the Trump administration just repealed clean water protections that had prevented the use of dangerous chemicals near streams, wetlands, and other bodies of water that feed into the drinking water supply.
This is bad ? really bad ? but keep reading. Before the end of the month, Congress needs to agree on a series of must-pass budget bills. These budget bills often include riders that have important policy implications ? and because the government shuts down if the bills don't pass, Mitch McConnell has to make sure they see a vote in the Senate.
The negotiations are happening now ? and they're an opportunity to undo some of Trump's worst attacks on the environment if we can push Congress on it before the votes.
We need your help. A donor has agreed to triple match every contribution to our emergency campaign ? but we need to be ramping up efforts now.
We can't let this moment pass us by. Pitch in with a gift of $5 or more right now, and a donor will TRIPLE MATCH every dollar, $3-for-$1 [link removed]
Friend ? the latest news isn't good, but I want you to know that we CAN beat Trump on this one.
In fact, we just dealt a huge one-two blow to Trump's pro-oil, pro-drilling agenda: The House has voted to permanently ban offshore drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Florida Gulf Coast, and restore protections to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
It's an incredible victory ? but more importantly, it's momentum. Momentum we must seize with everything we've got over the next two weeks, or risk missing out on a brief-yet-critical window to undo more of Trump's attacks.
? ? THE NEXT TWO WEEKS ARE CRITICAL FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
We just scored two major victories last week as the House voted to permanently protect our coastlines and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from dirty, dangerous drilling. We have an opportunity to keep this progress going, but only if we seize the momentum NOW.
What happens next depends on you. Your gift of just $5 or more will TRIPLE in impact ? please don't wait ? [link removed] ? DONATE [link removed] ? ?
Congress is kicking into high gear now that they're back from recess, and important legislation on any number of environmental crises could be brought to the floor before the month is out. This is what we know is in the works: A bill to BLOCK Trump's attempts to sell out beloved national monuments like Grand Staircase-Escalante to corporate polluters who want to rip it open for uranium mining. Chip in $5 ? [link removed] A bill to RESTORE protections to endangered species ? like polar bears, giraffes, and orca whales ? already on the brink of extinction. Chip in $5 ? [link removed] A bill to STOP the Trump administration from loosening restrictions on toxic methane pollution ? a gas that traps over 80 times as much heat as CO2. Chip in $5 ? [link removed] A bill to FULLY FUND the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a program that's vital to safeguarding public lands and waters from pollution and development. Chip in $5 ? [link removed] Here's the thing: Congress won't prioritize these urgent issues unless we give them no other choice. We've got to keep the phones ringing, the inboxes overflowing, and the boots on the ground in Washington. But we can't do it without your support.
Make a gift that triples right now ? for our public lands, endangered species, clean water, and more. You'll have THREE TIMES the impact on these critical fights ? even $5 helps ? [link removed]
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for sticking with us. This week's victories wouldn't have happened without the support of committed LCV members like you.
Sincerely,
