Friend — just hours ago, in the dead of night, the House of Representatives voted 215-214 to pass a bill that would gut clean energy production, drive up families’ costs, and allow polluters to bypass key environmental safeguards and drill on our public lands.

This is Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill” covering virtually every harmful MAGA priority, from cutting healthcare for low-income people, to slashing pay for federal workers, to building the racist environmentally-damaging border wall, to giving handouts to fossil fuel executives and sabotaging the clean energy industry.

We need your help. This bill still needs to pass in the Senate, where Republicans hold a narrow majority. We’re already hearing that many senators are skeptical of the bill’s most extreme provisions, which means that we have a real shot at pressuring them to change course.

We have to act quickly, Friend. Please, renew your LCV membership to help power our response today. Right now, $5 is all it takes >>

Our campaign to protect people and the planet from Trump’s anti-environmental billionaire tax scam needs to ramp up NOW. We’re mobilizing nationwide, building grassroots power, and making sure the inboxes and voicemails of every senator are full each day. We HAVE to make it clear that senators will pay a political price if they vote to sell off public lands, end environmental safeguards, and raise energy costs.

Here are just a few of the stakes if this bill becomes law:

• Selling off public lands: the House’s bill mandates the sale and leasing of millions of acres of public lands and oceans — including sensitive ecosystems like the Arctic — for destructive oil, gas, and coal drilling, logging, and mining.

• Gutting clean energy production: the bill eliminates critical programs to expand clean energy and energy efficiency, sabotaging the transition to a sustainable economy and raising Americans’ energy costs. We cannot afford to reverse course on climate progress — $5 is all it takes to renew your LCV membership >>
   
• Ending environmental safeguards for oil and gas: this legislation would allow oil and gas executives to circumvent environmental review, guaranteeing approval for projects that have been proven to threaten our health and our climate and ripping away the public’s right to our day in court.

Friend, we have a real opportunity to limit the damage this legislation does to our environment, our health, and our climate. If only a small number of Republican senators — some of whom have already publicly opposed the bill’s most extreme provisions — vote no, there won’t be a majority to pass it.

But the truth is that campaigns like these require resources that we just don’t have right now. We really need your help to go as big as we need to win. So, we’re asking:

Renew your LCV membership today for just $5. You’ll make an immediate impact for our environment and our health. Please don’t wait — we have only a brief window of opportunity before the Senate votes >>

Thanks for standing with us, Friend.
