Our climate and our communities cannot afford more decades of unfettered oil and gas production? ? ? ? Friend ? Calls to expand drilling in our public lands and waters have grown to a fever pitch. We need your help today to respond.

Right now, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to exploit the tragic assault on Ukraine and the subsequent shocks to the global energy market to enrich themselves. We cannot let oil and gas companies line their pockets and irreversibly harm our public lands and the health of nearby communities with new drilling projects that will do nothing to lower today's high energy prices.

Drilling is not the answer. Clean energy is. The only way to protect our planet, conserve public lands, and protect our national security is to accelerate progress to a clean energy future NOW before it's too late. That's why we're asking you to make an emergency donation to power LCV's campaigns today.

A gift of $5 or more will help LCV protect vulnerable areas like the Arctic from drilling and exploitation and show our leaders that we demand action on renewable energy now. Please, donate today. [link removed]

Opening up more U.S. land and water to drilling will do nothing to lower energy and gas costs. It's a lie pushed by Big Oil and their allies to make the rich richer, one that will increase climate pollution and have devastating health impacts on communities, especially Indigenous communities and communities of color who live near oil and gas extraction sites.

It has never been more important to stand up to Big Oil and break our dependence on dirty, dangerous and unreliable fossil fuels ? and that's why we are turning to you today. We're up against the best lobbyists money can buy, and we need your help to keep powering our campaigns. Make a gift now and you can help protect public lands, promote clean energy, and move climate action forward. [link removed]

LCV supporters like you have stood up time and again to protect communities, stop oil exploration on public lands, and help create a clean energy future. In solidarity with Indigenous leaders, LCV helped protect places like Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante from fracking wells and oil spills. These are important, hard-won victories for the rural and Indigenous communities that rely on these lands for their way of life and for all who use protected lands for recreation. Protecting public lands is essential to confronting the increasing threat of climate change ? in fact, scientists say that the U.S must preserve 30% of our lands and waters by 2030.

But despite the science, Big Oil and their allies continue advocating for doubling down on fossil fuels, including drilling in our public lands and waters. Enough is enough.

Help stop the latest scheme to undo protections for public lands by powering LCV's campaigns for a clean energy future with your $5 gift today. [link removed]

The Biden administration and Congress have the power to stop this new push for fossil fuel development and redirect to transformational clean energy solutions that will create jobs, reduce pollution, support environmental justice, and aid our national security, but we must make our voices heard. Please, friend, join us in this fight at this crucial moment.
