DEVELOPING… in the final days of 2025, the Trump administration halted five wind energy projects already under construction along the coasts of Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Virginia: Vineyard Wind 1, Empire Wind 1, Sunrise Wind, Revolution Wind, and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, respectively. |
|
|
The announcement cited vague "national security risks" — with little justification. But Trump’s anti-environmental orders are already getting pushback: on Monday, a US judge ruled that building work on Revolution Wind can resume. Friend, what happens next depends on the environmental movement. Are you with us? |

|
If we allow these kinds of decisions to stand without speaking out against this illegitimate and harmful action, Trump’s administration will continue to use any 'trumped up' (pardon the pun) excuse to block virtually every new clean energy project so that their fossil fuel donors can keep making lavish profits at our expense. |

Friend, here are just a few reasons why your LCV membership matters so much right now: |
|
|
1. The legal basis of virtually all federal limits on climate pollution could soon be on the chopping block. In the coming weeks, Trump is expected to repeal the Endangerment Finding, which allows the EPA and other agencies to limit climate and health-harming emissions. We need your help to call out his climate denial and chaos scheme. |
|
|
2. This month, Trump is expected to greenlight a huge spike in vehicle emissions, the leading source of climate and health-harming carbon emissions in the United States. With the help of LCV members, we are leading the charge to voice opposition before the administration can lock in dirtier cars and trucks nationwide. |
|
|
3. The EPA has ceased enforcing requirements for reporting toxic waste hazards. Now, a new decision could soon make that policy permanent. The new rule would shield industrial sites handling hazardous waste from disclosing risks to local communities. LCV is advocating for communities impacted by these facilities, but we need YOUR help to make our campaigns possible. |
|
|
4. It's 2026, and with midterm elections soon to be in full swing, we need the environmental movement to push — HARD. Our movement’s ability to support policies that benefit people and our planet, rather than corporate polluters, depends on LCV members' support. |
|
|
2026 is shaping up to be a make-or-break year for the environment. LCV needs the resources to be ready to resist Trump’s dirty, corrupt agenda all year long, but the truth is that how big our campaign can go depends on the support of our members. |
|
|
That’s why your support is so crucial, Friend. |
