	Friend — the clock is ticking. Environmental leaders in the House Energy and Commerce Committee have introduced the CLEAN Future Act — setting up a major environmental showdown in the House. This is a huge opportunity. If we get it passed, it means cutting carbon emissions in half by 2030. It means significant investments in clean vehicles, energy-saving building codes, and green technology. It also puts a focus on environmental justice — directing resources to the communities that have been hit hardest by pollution and climate change. We need to fight like hell to get this to a vote, but our window is short. This sets up one of the first major tests of the year: Can we get a bill passed that seriously addresses the crisis. Friend — whether or not we pass that test is up to the environmental movement. The pressure we apply. The campaigns we run. The votes we win. The best thing you can do to help keep this campaign going right now is pitch in with an emergency contribution. A group of donors has put up a triple match fund, up to $100,000 — we're doing everything we can to hit that target before the end of the month. Please, donate today. Triple your impact. We can win this one — and even $5 is enough to make a difference » We're halfway through Biden's first 100 days — and this moment could be our last best chance to turn the tide on climate change. We have to fight like our lives depend on it, because they really do. The truth is — this isn't the only urgent environmental fight we're up against right now. There are so many reasons to pitch in — because there are so many ways your support will make a difference. Here are just a few: Because H.R.1 — a sweeping voting rights bill tackling automatic voter registration, early voting, vote-by-mail, gerrymandering reform, and more — has just passed the House in a vote of 220 to 210. The bill now moves to the 50-50 split Senate, where any vote we win will rely on razor-thin margins. This is our shot at the most significant voting reform bill since the Voting Rights Act. The ONLY way this passes is with a major grassroots push. Your support makes that happen. Donate today » Because Biden has paused all new drilling leases on public land. Fossil fuel extraction on public lands generates A QUARTER of America's greenhouse gas emissions. This is HUGE — but the problem is that the pause is temporary. The oil and gas industry is already ramping up pressure campaigns and lobbying efforts hitting lawmakers in vulnerable states. If they go unanswered — we'll be going back to business as usual. Don't let Big Oil restart leasing efforts. We CAN stop them — but we all need to get on board » Because there's also a major public lands package barreling towards a vote in the Senate. The House has passed the Protecting America's Wilderness and Public Lands Act, which could permanently protect millions of acres of American public land. That includes protecting areas around the Grand Canyon containing the water source for the Havasupai Tribe — currently at risk of being mined for uranium. We can't give up the Grand Canyon to mining interests. This is our chance to protect it » Because a group of donors is triple-matching every contribution this month. Bottom line, your contribution goes further to win environmental campaigns that matter if you give now. Triple your impact » We can do this, friend. Already this year, we've shut down Keystone XL. We've rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement. We're turning back the worst of Trump's attacks on public health and the environment. And we need to take this so much further. Transitioning to 100% clean energy. Securing permanent protections for millions of acres of public lands. Getting resources to the communities most affected by pollution and climate change. Saving our democracy. It's all possible, but it's going to take all of us. Thanks for your support. Sincerely, Matthew Davis Legislative Director League of Conservation Voters
