Friend — we've just gotten word that as soon as this weekend, Trump will announce the removal of environmental protections for roughly half of the country's wetlands and millions of miles of streams. The change will disrupt ecosystems, add harmful pollution to waterways, and endanger our drinking water.

We CAN stop this — but we need to work quickly. Congress is mounting a response but to have a shot at stopping Trump, we need to raise hell. That means getting organizers on the ground and flooding House and Senate offices with calls and letters to get them to take action against this rollback.

A major donor has put up a $500,000 fund for environmental campaigns like this one — IF 10,000 LCV members pitch in first.

We need your support — TODAY — to pull this off. The best thing you can do to help right now is renew your membership for 2020. And it only costs $5.

Friend: in reaching that goal, small donations count the same as big ones. Renewing your membership for just $5 could make the difference between funding some major environmental campaigns this year, or totally scaling back.

AND, if you make a donation of $35 or more, you'll get your choice of one of these awesome t-shirts to show your environmental pride: We also wanted to give you some information on some of the other fights we're up against right now — and why hitting this goal is so, so important:

1. The Trump administration officially announced its proposal to gut the National Environmental Policy Act, so that agencies will no longer consider climate change when approving major projects like highways, pipelines, and other infrastructure proposals. We're making an urgent push to block the new rule from taking effect, but we have to move quickly if we have any chance at all. You can help.

2. Trump's administration is also pushing to sell access to the area around the Grand Canyon to allow uranium mining. The Grand Canyon has been home to Indigenous communities, including the Havasupai, Hualapai, Hopi, and Navajo Nation communities, for millennia. Congress is pushing to block the sale, but we need major grassroots pressure if we have any chance at succeeding. Please — renew your LCV membership today. Even $5 can make a huge difference »
3. The EPA is attempting to block the use of vast quantities of scientific data, which would virtually end meaningful implementation of significant parts of the Clean Air Act and many more bedrock environmental laws. We're organizing to stop this rule — and to let the EPA use the best science available — but we can't keep up the fight without your help. Friend — I want you to know just how much your support matters. Please, renew your LCV membership today.
4. It's officially 2020, and with the election in full swing, we need the environmental movement to push — HARD. We're getting the candidates on the record to make sure they have serious plans to fight climate change, including their ideas to invest in communities that are hit hardest by its effects. No matter what, we need the next president to act on climate change. The only way that happens is if the environmental movement mobilizes in a major way. We need YOUR help now »
5. Even after Trump pulled the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement, there's still a real shot at holding ourselves to the carbon-reduction commitments we made as a country. After aggressive grassroots campaigns, state and local governments are setting their own emissions limits. This is stuff that doesn't always make front page news — but it's huge, and it only happens when the environmental movement demands it. Friend — your donation keeps this work going. Renew your LCV membership today to support all our pro-environment campaigns — even $5 can make a huge difference.

Please don't sit out for these fights — too much is at stake.

Thanks for everything you do to support our environment. We couldn't do it without you.

Sincerely,

Gene Karpinski
President
League of Conservation Voters
