Friend — this is it. The most important climate vote the U.S. House has ever taken is now expected this week.
We fought hard to get this far. LCV knocked on more than 350,000 doors, distributed over 16,000 "Climate Action Now" yard signs, garnered support from more than 13,000 businesses and recruited 20,000 new LCV members as climate activists across the country. Our state affiliates have held hundreds of events with members of Congress and local leaders in key districts and states, and we've run dozens of ads to
make climate the center of this bill and push it forward.
Everything comes down to this vote, friend. We must keep up our campaign until the final votes are cast in the House and in the Senate. Until then, we must do everything we can to protect the bill's historic investments in renewable energy infrastructure, green jobs, and environmental justice for low-wealth communities and communities of color on the front lines of pollution and climate change.
Help bring our campaign over the finish line. If you make a gift today, a group of donors will triple match every contribution. If you're in a position to pitch in, please, renew your membership to LCV today. All it takes is $5 »
The upcoming House vote will be an important milestone, but it is only the first critical vote before President Biden can sign the Build Back Better Act into law.
If the House vote succeeds, the bill will then head to the Senate, where a 50-50 party divide means that we have zero margin for error. All Democratic senators must support this bill.
The stakes could not be higher, which is why LCV must keep our campaign going until the final votes are cast. Unless we rally overwhelming support from our grassroots movement, we could lose critical votes in the Senate to corporate polluters and special interests who are leaning hard on senators facing tough reelections.
Right now, we can show both houses of Congress that people across the country demand climate action.
Please, pitch in and triple your impact for climate and environmental justice today. Our campaign is nearing the finish line — now is the critical moment. Give $5 today. This is too important to miss »
Thank you for all that you do — today and every day. I know that we can win with the support of environmentalists like you.
Sincerely,
Alex, Casey, and Caitlyn
The LCV Membership Team
