DEVELOPING… we've just received word that President Biden is preparing to announce the details of his infrastructure plan tomorrow in Pittsburgh.

Leaks are indicating that the plan could be as big as $3 trillion — setting the stage to modernize our energy, transportation, and water infrastructure, as well as create millions of green jobs and combat environmental racism.

Friend — this is expected to be the most important environmental action of Biden's presidency.

But there's a serious risk. This plan will face a divided Senate, where oil industry pressure campaigns are already underway to influence the package. If they go unanswered, we're in huge trouble.

This is truly urgent. We're quickly scaling up our own efforts, and we need your help. A group of donors has put up a triple-match fund — up to $100,000 — that expires TOMORROW. If we hit that goal, we're going big with this campaign.

We CAN win against the oil and gas industry, but only if we work together. So please, give a gift and triple your impact today — even $5 can make a difference »

So much is at stake. If we let this green recovery plan slip through our fingers, we could be losing the chance to install millions of solar panels and tens of thousands of wind turbines. The chance to upgrade 4 million buildings to be energy efficient. The chance to make sure every single school bus switches from dirty diesel to electric. The chance to lead in the transition to electric vehicles and build them here in the U.S. The historic opportunity to speed the rapid deployment of clean energy, battery storage, and transmission that is our once in a generation opportunity to put us on the path to 100% clean energy.

We are already paying a high price for pollution and climate change — and it's low-wealth communities, Tribal communities, and communities of color that have been hit hardest. A green infrastructure plan prioritizing just and equitable solutions could change everything. We cannot let the Senate steal our future out from under us.

Please, take the chance today to triple your impact before midnight tomorrow. Hitting this goal matters — because this isn't the only urgent environmental fight we're taking on. Here's just a few more reasons why your support is so vital right now:

1. Because H.R.1 — a sweeping voting rights bill tackling automatic voter registration, early voting, vote-by-mail, gerrymandering reform, and more — has passed the House in a vote of 220 to 210. The bill is now in the Senate and we need a major grassroots push. This is our shot at the most significant voting reform bill since the Voting Rights Act. Donate today »
2. Because Biden has paused all new drilling leases on public lands and waters to address the broken system that gives Big Oil far too much influence and taxpayer money. Fossil fuel extraction on public lands generates A QUARTER of America's greenhouse gas emissions. This is HUGE. Predictably, 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. We CAN stop Big Oil — but we all need to get on board »
3. Because there's also a major public lands package pushing its way through 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 »
4. 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. But this offer expires TOMORROW at midnight. Triple your impact — even $5 makes a difference »

We need all hands on deck to win each and every one of these fights. Together, we can meet the scale of the crises we face and build a clean, just, equitable future. But only if the environmental movement shows up when it matters.

Thank you friend, for everything you do for the environment.

Onward,
