Friend — this is absolutely maddening. On Thursday afternoon, Trump's Environmental Protection Agency announced it will keep the extremely dangerous pesticide chlorpyrifos on the market.

There's growing evidence the pesticide causes serious health effects in children and other sensitive populations — and at lower levels of exposure than previously understood. New York and California have moved to ban chlorpyrifos outright.

There's still time to reverse the EPA decision. If the Trump administration won't revisit their decision to look the other way on this chemical, we must force Congress take action.

LCV organizers are flooding Congressional offices with calls and filling inboxes with letters. We need to push swing members to force the administration to reverse course, but resources are running low and we need your help.

Please, friend: We need to get this decision reversed. The best thing you can do to help right now is renew your membership for 2019. Right now it only costs $5.

Friend — If we reach 10,000 donors by July 31, a major donor has agreed to unlock a $500,000 contribution. This would be a total gamechanger.

It's so important to recognize that right now, we CAN make a difference.

Earlier this year, the environmental movement stepped up in a big way to restore and permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) after Republican leadership in Congress let the program expire. This was a huge win for the future of our nation's best and most accessible parks program — and we couldn't have done it without thousands of LCV supporters like you. Put simply: When you speak out, we win.

But fighting back on so many fronts takes resources that we just don't have right now. We're looking for 10,000 LCV members to pitch in, and here's where things stand:

2019 SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

If everyone reading this right now pitched in — even just $5 — we'd blow through our fundraising goal in minutes. And remember: your support could unlock an additional $500,000 gift.

I know you won't sit this one out, friend. Thank you — sincerely — for everything you do to protect our planet.

Sincerely,

League of Conservation Voters Rapid Response Team
