Dear John,

In just a moment, we are going to ask you to double your impact and make a contribution to our Giving Tuesday campaign — but first, let us explain why your donation today is so important.

Thanks to the generosity of our members this year, MCV has helped secure incredible victories to protect Maine's environment, take bold steps to address the climate crisis, and ensure an equitable and just transition to a new, green economy.

Just this year, MCV and our allies have:

Collaborated with key decision-makers in Augusta to put bold climate action front-and-center;
Played a pivotal role in passing historic bills to protect Maine's public lands, and keep our environment clean and Maine people healthy;
Made voting in this state one of the most accessible and secure in the nation; and
Held our lawmakers accountable for their votes on Maine's environment and the climate crisis with our annual Environmental Scorecard.

This Giving Tuesday, thanks to a very special donor, your membership dollars will be doubled up to $10,000 to kick off our year-end fundraising campaign. Please help us reach a goal of 20 membership gifts today.

Your gift will directly support our work to keep the pressure on our elected officials to protect Maine's natural beauty and climate future. This includes our campaign to ensure Maine's federal delegation, including Rep. Jared Golden, enacts the transformative climate, jobs, and justice policies in the Build Back Better Act—for our communities, our nation, and ultimately, the planet.

So if you can, please consider making a contribution to protect the Maine we all dearly love — and your gift will be automatically doubled thanks to a generous matching donation. Click here to chip in whatever you are able to for our Giving Tuesday campaign and help us hit our goal of twenty members today.

This work can only happen through you, and we can't thank you enough for your support. Thank you for caring about the health and safety of our Maine communities.

All our best,

- Abbie, Beth, Ches, Gina, Greta, Kathleen, Maureen, Rani, Stacie, and Will

P.S. We need climate leadership now. Your gift today will immediately help keep the pressure on our congressional delegation to pass the historic Build Back Better Act. Each and every member helps forward this work. Please help us reach the goal of twenty gifts this Giving Tuesday.
