Dear Members,

Last week we sounded the alarm and you all began to answer. But we are not
done yet. Tuesday, Senator Schumer introduced the bill to the floor to be
added as an amendment to the National Defense and Authorization Act (NDAA).
WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED WORD FROM LEGISLATIVE AIDES THAT THE DEAL COULD BE
VOTED ON TODAY.

IN ORDER FOR SENATOR MANCHIN TO BE SUCCESSFUL ON HIS THIRD ATTEMPT HE WILL
NEED 60 VOTES IN THE SENATE. According to policy analysts, the newer
version of the bill is worse and will unleash even more damage in our
communities through an increased weakening of NEPA protections in some
areas, due to negotiations with Republican Senators. WE NEED YOU TO ACT
NOW!
Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 TODAY (we are trying to create momentum
before the vote) and tell them to oppose this dirty deal and kill this
zombie bill once and for all? Once you make the call, share this action
online with others. We can and will stop it again!
To learn exactly why we can’t stand for this attack on our communities’
most basic rights, read our most recent opinion piece here and share this
action alert. [6]

Thank you for standing with us and taking action at this critical time.
