Friend — in a vote of 221-213, late on Friday, the House is poised to pass the most ambitious climate legislation in U.S. history, the Build Back Better Act, as soon as next week. This is
huge — we could not have done this without our
incredible grassroots campaign that
made climate action the center of this bill.
Once the climate bill passes the House, it moves to the Senate — and the situation is urgent. With a three vote margin in the House and a 50-50 divided Senate, we're fighting to make sure every single Democrat in Congress supports the bill. As things stand, we're not yet certain we have the votes. Bottom line —
grassroots campaigning will make the difference — we must keep pressure on the Senate to pass this bill.
It all comes down to this moment, friend. Congress can pass climate action and make real progress in the fight against climate change, but success will depend on what we do from now until the final votes are cast.
Please, help bring the most ambitious climate and environmental justice legislation in history across the finish line. Give now, and a generous group of donors will triple match your gift. Even $5 helps »
Right now, leaders from around the globe are meeting in Glasgow, Scotland for the COP26 conference to coordinate international efforts to fight climate change. Passing the Build Back Better Act this November, on the heels of these critical negotiations, would set an important example by fulfilling President Biden's promise to cut our nation's greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030.
While leaders meet in Glasgow,
you have the power — right here and right now — to play your part in combating climate change and building a more just and sustainable future.
LCV's grassroots campaign for climate action is on the verge of securing historic emissions reductions that will transform our economy and communities for the better. But whether we win or lose will depend on mustering as many resources as we can until the final votes are cast.
With your help, our campaign has already knocked on more than 338,000 doors this year, distributed over 15,000 'Climate Action Now' yard signs, and garnered support from more than 12,500 businesses. Our state affiliates have held hundreds of events with members of Congress and local leaders in key districts and states to push this bill forward with climate at the center.
Our efforts are working, friend, which is why we must keep going.
Please, help us win this fight when we are so close to victory! Make a gift today and TRIPLE your impact — $5 becomes $15. This moment is too important to miss »
We have never been closer to passing real climate legislation into law. I know that we can bring this bill over the finish line
if we give our campaign the resources it needs at this critical time.
Please, give $5 today.
Thank you again for your support, friend. It matters now more than ever.
Onward,
Gene Karpinski
