We're not on track to hit our goal for Giving Tuesday ? that?s bad, really bad.? ? ? ? Friend ? yesterday we shared the news that a donor put up $100,000 for the League of Conservation Voters to keep up our fight for the environment if (and only if) 1,500 LCV supporters pitch in before midnight on Giving Tuesday.
That's a stretch goal for us. It really is. And right now, with less than 72 hours to the deadline, we're not on track to meet it ? we're only at 579 donations.
THIS PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT: In reaching that goal, small donations count the same as big ones. A single $5 donation could make the difference between funding some major environmental campaigns next year, or totally scaling back.
Right now, LCV is in the middle of MASSIVE fights over Keystone XL, uranium mining near the Grand Canyon, and the future of the EPA's ability to use science in its policymaking (really ? who thought we'd ever get to this point?).
Bottom line ? the stakes are INCREDIBLY high and our resources are stretched. If we can hit this goal for Giving Tuesday, it'd be a game-changer.
Please, please, please ? pitch in. We really can't come up short on this one. Donate just $5 to LCV today ? [link removed]
I want to give you a little more info about what we're up against right now ? and why hitting this goal matters SO, so much.
? Because after a fourth major spill from the Keystone Pipeline, the Trump administration is allowing TC Energy Corp (formerly TransCanada) to move forward with its expansion ? called Keystone XL. We're making an urgent push to block Keystone XL, but we have to move quickly if we have any shot at all. You can help. Make a donation to LCV today ? [link removed] Because the Trump administration is quickly pushing to sell access to the area around the Grand Canyon to allow uranium mining. The Grand Canyon has been home to Indigenous communities, including the Havasupai, Hualapai, Hopi, and Navajo Nation communities, for millennia. Congress is pushing to block the sale, but we need major grassroots pressure if we have any shot at succeeding. Please ? donate today. Even $5 can make a huge difference ? [link removed] Because it was just leaked that the Trump administration is preparing to propose a rule for the EPA that will disallow the use of vast quantities of scientific data. This would virtually end meaningful implementation of significant parts of the Clean Air Act and many more bedrock environmental laws. We're organizing to stop the new rule ? and to let the EPA use the best available science ? but we can't keep up the fight without your help. Friend ? I want you to know just how much your support matters. Please, donate today ? [link removed] Because the 2020 race is in full swing, and we need the environmental movement to push ? HARD. We're getting the candidates on the record to make sure they have serious plans to fight climate change, including their ideas to invest in communities that are hit hardest by its effects. No matter what, we need the next president to act on climate change. The only way that happens is if the environmental movement mobilizes in a major way. We need YOUR help ? [link removed] Because even after Trump pulled the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, there's still a real shot at holding ourselves to the carbon-reduction commitments we made as a country. After aggressive grassroots campaigns, state and local governments are setting their own emissions limits. This is stuff that doesn't always make frontpage news ? but it's huge, and it only happens when the environmental movement demands it. Friend ? your donation keeps this work going ? [link removed]
Friend ? if we can get 1,500 donations before Giving Tuesday and unlock the $100,000 challenge grant, it's a game-changer for each and every one of these campaigns. The ONLY way we can do that is with your help ? I really hope you'll pitch in today.
Remember ? gifts of any amount count, even if they're just $5.
Please, donate today before the Giving Tuesday deadline ? [link removed]
We wouldn't be able to do this work without your help, friend. Thank you for your generosity, and everything that you do for the environment.
Sincerely,
Gene Karpinski
President
