Friend — after many months of intense campaigning, the Build Back Better Act hit a speed bump — Sen. Joe Manchin — but we are not going to be deterred by his comments. His constituents of West Virginia — and the rest of the nation — need this critical bill with the most significant action on climate, clean energy, and environmental justice in our nation's history.

LCV must raise $50,000 to keep the momentum going, keep this bill alive and ensure that Build Back Better passes. This bill is critical to meeting science-based climate plans while saving people hundreds of dollars on their energy bills and other monthly expenses, investing in the frontline and communities of color that have suffered the most from toxic pollution, and creating and sustaining millions of good-paying jobs in the clean energy economy.

We need your support. Your gift to LCV will go directly to fund this campaign and others like it — will you join us?

It is thanks to supporters like you that LCV has been able to run our biggest grassroots campaign ever to support the most important climate legislation in history. Our months-long, multi-state advocacy campaign has been like running back-to-back marathons, and we never thought we would have to keep it going for this long.

Your support matters. Right now, it matters more than ever. We have come so far together — we can't let up until this bill is passed.

Our grassroots push has been incredibly effective to date, but now that we're on the verge of securing once-in-a-generation climate action, resources are tight. We're asking every LCV member to make an urgent gift to LCV.

We can pass climate action and make real progress in the fight against climate change and environmental injustice, but success will depend on how much we can do from now until the final votes are cast. The need is urgent for one final push.

Friend, you can make a huge difference in the fight to curb climate change, build an equitable clean energy future, and advance environmental justice for communities hit hardest by pollution and extreme weather. Your contribution will be especially effective at a moment when the environmental movement urgently needs all hands on deck. Even $5 can make a difference today.

Thank you for all you do for the environment and to support the work of LCV.
