Friend,
Today, we’re launching CLCV’s Climate Action Fund to support our agenda for 2020, including:
- Developing and electing environmental champions during California’s primary in March—leaders who will help us pass a bold policy agenda
- Enacting stronger environmental protections in California
- Making civic participation and voting more accessible for everyone in the Golden State
- Fighting off the influence of Big Oil and other corporate polluters in our government
We’re on a countdown of less than 11 years to act on the climate crisis before it worsens beyond repair, and the actions of the Trump Administration and Big Oil are shortening the clock.
In fact, the Trump Administration recently announced the opening of one million acres of public lands in California to oil drilling and fracking. It’s an irresponsible and dangerous move that ends a five-year drilling moratorium in our state and is yet one more direct attack of many on California’s environment.
I joined CLCV a couple of months ago as Philanthropy Director because I know we are not in ordinary times. The welfare of our communities, way of life, and our planet are on the line. The only way to protect our future is to take bold action now. That requires increased and adequate funding to match our adversaries and empower our environmental champions.
We cannot afford to allow the oil industry to get a stronger grip on our precious public lands, nature, and wildlife, as they carry out their abusive drilling and fracking plans.
CLCV represents a community who cares about clean air, clean water, and outdoor spaces and we hope to secure your ongoing participation today by providing a special gift.
Friend, we cannot do this work without you. We need you now more than ever. Join our movement to fight off Big Oil and Trump.
Together, we can grow CLCV’s Climate Action Fund and take bold action needed to address this crisis.
Thank you for standing with us,
Sean McManus
Philanthropy Director
