TRIPLE MATCH: Active

DEVELOPING… House Republicans are officially cobbling together a devastating dirty energy bill from a grab bag of Big Polluter requests. Hearings and markups are underway now, and it looks like a floor vote on a package could come soon. We need to act quickly — the various bills they’ve released would set environmental policy back decades if they became law.

Provisions include gutting environmental review, opening up public lands and waters to massive new drilling operations, and putting fossil fuel projects on the fast track to approval, tying the Biden administration’s hands.

Fighting this will come down to grassroots pressure and debunking misinformation from polluters and their cronies. Campaigning. Flooding House and Senate office with calls, letters, and emails. Meetings with House champions and Senate leaders. We need to do all of that and more to ensure these damaging policies go nowhere and demand a clean energy future.

We need your help. We need to raise $40,000 to power our campaign. A group of donors has agreed to TRIPLE MATCH all gifts if you give today.

So we’re asking: Help power our fight to protect our environment from dirty energy and fossil fuels. Give right now and your support will go 3X as far to protect our climate and our future. Even $5 helps.

I can’t overstate how bad this could be, Friend. House Republicans are shopping a laundry list of giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

Here’s a quick look at what they’re proposing:
  • Gut environmental review. Their bill would severely roll back the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the law that requires environmental impact studies for projects like pipelines, highways, and drilling on public lands — and allows affected communities to give input on these projects.
  • Massively expand oil and gas drilling. Republicans’ plan would immediately resurrect drilling leases canceled by the Biden administration. From there, it would open up even more public lands and waters for drilling and mining… at a steep discount. 
  • Greenlight dirty oil pipelines. Their plan could restart construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, parts of whose namesake existing pipeline have had three major oil spills in just five years. It most recently leaked half a million gallons of oil into a Kansas creek in December. Their plan would allow this pipeline extension and other new dangerous pipelines to run through our communities.
TRIPLE YOUR IMPACT:
STOP THE GOP’S
DIRTY ENERGY BILL >>

We need to step up our grassroots campaigning — our climate and health cannot afford extremist Republican attempts to ramp up drilling. Instead, we need to EXPAND clean energy and PROTECT the clean air and clean water our communities depend on.

But that’ll only happen when we hear from people like you — people who know how high the stakes are for people and the planet. We can’t afford to wait.

Please, make a gift right now to stop this dirty energy bill from becoming law. For a limited time, your support will make THREE TIMES the impact, thanks to a group of committed environmental donors who are matching all gifts — meaning a gift of just $5 becomes $15 when you give right now.

Thanks for everything that you do. We’ll be in touch soon with more opportunities to fight for a cleaner future.

Onward,

LCV Rapid Response Team
