Friend — our Membership Drive deadline is a few days away, and we're reaching out because we haven't heard from you yet (renew your membership here and your contribution will be tripled).

The truth is your membership matters, and it's particularly critical right now.

Here's the situation: Earlier this month, Senator Joe Manchin backed away from a climate deal after months of negotiations, choosing to side with Big Oil and Republicans. It leaves the deal one vote short -- stalling any real action in Congress for now.

In response, we're redoubling our efforts on pushing the White House to act decisively on climate. The Biden administration has massive amounts of power to curb climate pollution — but that will only happen if the environmental movement makes it happen.

Right now, we're facing a critical test: the Biden administration is weighing a plan to block all new oil and gas drilling leases on public waters.

This could be huge -- and a decision is coming. Right now, we're organizing volunteers from all over the country to flood the administration with letters, pressuring Biden to hold to his promises.

Friend -- it's your membership support that makes victory possible here. But we have to do more. A group of donors has put together a fund to triple match every contribution before Sunday's membership deadline:

The ban on new oil and gas leases is the first of many huge environmental decisions, Friend. And right now, we're pushing for serious action on so many fronts -- including:

• Setting tight standards for power plants and other major emitters of climate pollution
• Placing strict limits on air pollution to safeguard all communities
• Expediting requirements of 100% tailpipe pollution-free new cars by 2035 and trucks by 2040
• Protecting communities from hazardous and super-polluting methane
• Conserving 30% of our public lands and waters by 2030
• Declaring a climate emergency - and so much more.

The best way you can help win each and every one of these fights right now is to claim your LCV membership — all it takes is a gift of $5 or more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Friend. This is such a critical moment for the environment, and we're so fortunate to have you on the team.

Onward,

Gene Karpinski
