DEVELOPING… Senate negotiators have just reached a $3.5 trillion deal on Biden's Build Back Better plan, a massive investment in clean energy, jobs, and environmental justice.
Friend — this is our now-or-never moment. Over recent weeks and months, LCV teams have organized field operations in swing states around the country. We've turned out volunteers, flooded Senate offices with calls and letters, placed billboard ads, and run digital campaigns.
Everything we've worked for is to ensure:
- The bill is a good one. That it puts serious resources into tackling the climate crisis and environmental injustice.
- That the bill makes it to a vote.
- We win that vote.
We need your help. The oil and gas industry only needs to peel off one senator to derail the whole thing. Recently leaked audio of an Exxon executive revealed that this is exactly their plan. Your membership contribution today will be triple matched — and will go directly towards campaigns to win this vote.
Please, friend — pitch in today.
As part of the Membership Drive, a group of donors is triple matching every contribution. We're calling on every LCV member to renew their membership today. Here's where our campaign stands right now:

Our campaigns need to go bigger right now. Even getting the bill to a vote will require enormous pressure on a number of moderate Democrats, who have yet to say if they support the proposal. Losing even one vote means the whole thing goes down.
We can't let that happen — and your support is essential, friend. This bill is our shot to put our nation on the path to 100% carbon-free energy powering our electricity grid. Our shot at clean cars, buses, and buildings. Our shot at correcting decades of environmental injustice by centering the communities who have disproportionately suffered the worst impacts of the climate crisis and poor infrastructure.
Your contribution will fund campaigns in swing states, directing thousands of activists to call their members of Congress. It will help run digital and billboard ads pushing on-the-fence lawmakers. It will help hold events, town halls, and public meetings.
The absolute best thing you can do right now is this: renew your LCV membership. Right now, all it takes is $5.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, friend. We'll be in touch with next steps soon.
