John,

Every election, we tend to say: "this is the most important election of our lifetime." And today, we say it again, forcefully — because, in our state, it truly is.

The health of our environment and our climate future will be on the ballot in November, and it all comes down to electing pro-conservation candidates who care deeply about protecting the Maine we all love.

That's why our team at Maine Conservation Voters Action Fund is wasting no time building a campaign to elect conservation leaders who will fight for a clean energy economy, protect our air, water, and lands, and ensure everyone can equally participate in our democracy.

We ask for your help — because we simply can't turn back the clock on all the climate and environmental progress we've made over the last few years.

We need 50 conservation donors to step up right now to help launch our campaign to elect pro-environment, pro-democracy candidates up and down the ballot. Can we count on your support? Please click here to make your contribution today.

We kicked off our 2022 election season recently with a very special event: MCV Action Fund’s endorsement of Gov. Janet Mills, a proven climate champion in the Blaine House. Take a minute to watch our video highlighting Gov. Mills and the incredible work her administration has done over the last three and half years to stand up for conservation and climate action:

We cannot go back to the way things were four years ago — when Maine’s former, anti-environment governor blocked clean energy projects,¹ tried to undo environmental laws and regulations,² supported offshore drilling³ and metallic mineral mining,⁴ and refused to fund the popular Land for Maine’s Future program.⁵

What we're able to do over the next few years will determine what future we create for our children — and that's where you come in.

Your early support of our campaign will ensure we have the resources today to build a robust and effective campaign to re-elect Gov. Mills and pro-conservation leaders who put our environment, climate action, and the health of our democracy front and center.

Will you join us today as one of the inaugural 50 conservation donors to help us elect climate and conservation leaders this November?

Thank you so much for your support!
