Our climate can't wait, friend.

In 2021, the U.S. experienced one of its most catastrophic climate years on record. Maybe you were among the 40% of U.S. residents who live in counties hit by climate disasters, and maybe you experienced one of these disasters first-hand — our thoughts are with you and your neighbors.

In the last year alone, there were at least 20 major climate disasters that, in total, killed nearly 700 people and caused $145 billion in damage, and this is likely an undercounting of the true toll in the U.S. These devastating losses are becoming more and more common, and are having a disproportionate impact on communities of color and low-wealth communities across our country.

The truth is climate inaction costs more than climate action. That's why Congress and President Biden must take meaningful action on climate, environmental justice, and clean energy without delay. The time to act is now — this is our generation's last best chance to reverse climate change while curbing dangerous pollution, reducing energy costs for families, and creating good-paying jobs.

As negotiations continue on important federal legislation in Congress, LCV is keeping the pressure on Senators to swiftly approve the $550 billion in climate and environmental justice-focused investments as part of Build Back Better that passed in the U.S. House in November.

Please, chip in to help power our campaign and keep the pressure on Congress and President Biden. Right now it only takes $5 »

Friend, the public wants Congress to move on climate action. Our polling shows that a majority of voters want Congress to address the climate crisis — and these investments have already passed in the House. This is why corporate polluters and their allies are working so hard to pressure moderate senators. We must combat their disinformation and ensure that Congress listens to the will of the public before it's too late.

We are so close to passing historic climate investments into law, but it could all come crashing down if we give up the fight now. To power our campaigns and continue our fight for bold climate action, we depend on the support of our grassroots community.

Keep up the fight for climate action by making a contribution of just $5 to LCV today »

Onward,
