Friend — I don't say this lightly. This is our now-or-never moment. Tonight is the deadline to support the most significant grassroots campaign, to pass the most important climate legislation in a generation.
The U.S. House has just approved a budget resolution that will allow the Senate to pass budget reconciliation with transformative climate investments with a simple majority.
We're asking for a response from every LCV member right now:
Are you in a position to pitch in right now? Every contribution will be triple matched. Even $5 can make a difference »
If you are NOT in a position to pitch in financially right now — can we ask you to do one quick thing instead? Just click here to let us know, and we'll stop asking for now »
Votes in the House and Senate are now coming within the next few weeks. We have a shot — a real shot — at funding real, serious investments in green jobs. A real shot at addressing environmental injustices. A real shot at clean energy for all.
But with slim majorities in both houses of Congress, these votes are going to be incredibly close. Just one senator could make the difference between success and failure. We simply cannot bet our planet's future on a coin flip, which is why we have gone all in to pass this bill.
LCV has placed grassroots organizers on the ground in swing districts all across the country. We've launched massive, targeted advertising campaigns. We're meeting with business leaders, putting pressure on Members of Congress, and rallying voters to support climate action.
We need your help to keep it going.
Please, consider making a gift today to support this vital work — even $5 makes a difference »
The campaign is working. Members of Congress are hearing from grassroots activists, seeing lawn signs in their home districts, encountering ads everywhere they go — they're seeing support everywhere for action on climate now.
We're asking for a response from every LCV member to keep this campaign going. Because this campaign is so important, a group of donors will triple match every contribution made before tonight's deadline.
Tonight is the deadline to support our most significant major grassroots campaign, to pass the most important climate legislation in a generation. Every contribution before midnight will be triple matched — a $5 gift will go three times as far »
As of this past week, our organizers have knocked on nearly 150,000 doors in Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to rally support for the bill in a leadup to a vote. This is just part of our massive field program spread over these ten states and key congressional districts. We are going door-to-door asking residents and businesses to pledge their support for bold legislation by displaying "Climate Action Now" signs in their neighborhoods and businesses.
If everyone reading this pitched in, we'd blow through our $50,000 August fundraising goal. That'd ensure our organizers have what they need to reach every voter and community leader where it matters most. Your contribution helps keep organizers knocking on doors and ads airing across channels.
So, if you ARE in a position to pitch in right now, a group of donors has put up a match fund to triple every contribution through the end of the month »
