"Did we fight against some of the science? Yes!"? ? ? ? ? Friend ? in the leadup coming to a vote on Biden's clean energy and green jobs bill, a Big Oil executive was just caught on tape admitting to funding a shadowy campaign to derail the bill.

Some of the most important negotiations in the fight against climate change are happening right now. These leaks change everything ? it's a PR nightmare for the industry and for lawmakers that were influenced by their campaign. We have a real shot at securing some of the final holdout votes.
Friend ? this could be the most important climate bill in history, but we cannot apply the necessary pressure without your help. We're calling on every LCV member to pitch in right now:
We have set a goal to raise $100,000 as we ramp up our campaign to pass a green Build Back Better plan. Please help us meet this critical fundraising goal. Renew your LCV membership today ? [link removed]
The Build Back Better bill has the potential to be a historical piece of legislation in the fight against climate change. We're fighting to ensure it includes huge investments that combat environmental racism, modernize and decarbonize our energy, transportation, and water infrastructure ? all while creating millions of good-paying union jobs.
We have Big Oil and other corporate polluters in a tight spot. Our latest polling shows that 72% of voters across critical swing states support clean energy investments. The problem is that swing senators are under intense pressure from fossil fuel disinformation campaigns. If Big Oil can flip just one senator, they can successfully sink this bill and sabotage the fight against climate change, again. The leaked footage, provided by Greenpeace, suggests that this is exactly how they're planning to sabotage these negotiations.
We aren't letting Big Oil drive the narrative or the agenda. We are ramping up our pressure campaigns in more than twenty states. We're launching billboards, call-ins, TV ads, townhalls, and more ? and we won't stop fighting until Congress passes a bill that invests in green energy infrastructure at the scale needed to tackle climate change and environmental injustice.
At LCV, we go toe-to-toe with corporate polluters and win, year after year after year. But without members like you, our campaigns don't work. Your support right now will help us keep up the fight with Big Oil.
