John,

This week, Congress is working on finalizing an essential piece of
legislation to close out the 2022 Congressional session, the annual
National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

In a moment, we’ll explain how this defense legislation has evolved into a
fight for environmental protections and what Cori’s doing to protect
frontline communities. [ [link removed] ]But first, we have an urgent request: Will you
make a contribution of $5 to help amplify Cori’s voice on
issues including environmental justice?

Here's what's happening: Sen. Joe Manchin has been working to include
reforms that would speed up permitting approvals for both fossil and
renewable energy infrastructure.

His proposal would include the approval of a natural gas pipeline through
Manchin’s home state of West Virginia and ramp up timetables for
environmental reviews of pipelines — at the steep cost of gutting bedrock
environmental regulations, prioritizing dirty fossil fuel projects, and
putting the communities in the frontlines of the climate crisis at further
risk.

Cori will not allow corporate politicians like Sen. Manchin to go
unchecked in their attempts to leverage their position of power for greedy
profiteering.Thanks to the commitment of Cori and more 750 environmental
justice groups, this dirty deal was not included in the final NDAA text.
But this fight isn’t over.

[ [link removed] ]If we're going to protect the Black, brown, and Indigenous communities
most affected by the climate crisis, we must keep up our organizing. Will
you help us continue to amplify this message and Cori’s environmental
justice agenda with a contribution of $5 or more today?



[ [link removed] ]Chip in $5



When members of Congress — or any powerful player — try to put frontline
communities at risk, Cori will stand up and fight back.

In solidarity,

— Team Cori
