Friend — we have to act quickly. In the midst of the impeachment hearings, it has been flying under the radar that the federal government is on the verge of a shutdown.

The first deadline to pass or extend the budget is this Thursday.

We've just received word that there will be attempts to get anti-environment riders into the bill. In the past, we've fought off provisions that would sell off public lands, expand mining, gut protections for endangered species, and decrease funding for clean water and conservation.

This is a VERY dangerous situation. With all eyes on impeachment, if one of these amendments make it through, we could be facing incredible damage to the environment.

We need your help TODAY. A donor has agreed to triple match every contribution to help fight back — even $5 donations are enough to make a difference.

URGENT: Donate to LCV today to keep the pressure on blocking anti-environment riders before this week's deadline and your contribution will be tripled. Even $5 makes a difference for this urgent fight »

With only a short window until a vote, we need to act — fast. Your contribution can help fuel campaigns to flood House and Senate offices with calls and letters to keep the environment off the chopping block and to make sure these key spending bills don't get bogged down by corporate polluter giveaways.

Plus, we don't even know what other anti-environment riders could be snuck in at the last minute.

This is a fight we cannot lose.

Please, chip in just $5 or more now before it's too late to triple your impact »

This is a key moment for the environmental movement. We're fighting the Trump administration's anti-environment measures on all fronts: He's attempting to allow coal companies to leave toxic waste in storage ponds, he's pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, he's threatened to open millions of acres of the Tongass National Forest to logging, and he wants to cut off science from key EPA decision-making.

We're up against some of the biggest challenges we've ever faced, and that means we need a bigger LCV membership to stand with us on the front lines of this fight for our environment.

Don't sit this one out, friend. Contribute to the League of Conservation Voters today.

Thank you for all of your support — we couldn't do our work without you.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
President
