The Trump administration has already stacked the agency with climate change deniers, purged qualified scientists from research roles, and even pressured a scientist to change her testimony before Congress. Science itself is at stake right now, Marc. If the environmental movement stays silent now -- we could lose the EPA entirely. We need your help. We're preparing demonstrations across the country during the summer recess -- but we're only halfway to our fundraising goal. Can you make a donation to keep our campaigns going? If you donate today, a donor is matching every contribution 3-to-1. You haven't claimed your triple match 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.

Here's the thing: climate science already has been scrutinized. It's called peer review -- and it's done in good faith by trained scientists. That's not going to be the case with Pruitt's team. One science professor aptly described this being "like a red team-blue team exercise about whether gravity exists." It's a massive waste of time meant to stall the EPA's work on climate change -- at a time when it's critical that we act quickly. We can't give up on the EPA without a fight. As much damage as Trump and Pruitt can do -- in the end, so much relies on Congress. And as we've seen this past month, Members of Congress are responsive to grassroots pressure. That's where we need you, Marc: Every week, we're organizing calls, rallies, protests, demonstrations, and grassroots lobbying -- to push Congress to limit the executive branch. We're looking for 10,000 LCV members to pitch in to keep that working going -- and here's where things stand: 2017 SUMMER MEMBERSHIP DRIVE GOAL: 10,000 Donations PROGRESS: 55% to Goal TRIPLE MATCH STATUS: ACTIVE Can you confirm your membership status?<http://action.lcv.org/site/R?i=uqVM2UsvnxA_VDoWZRiGmg> FOR IMMEDIATE REVIEW Please confirm your membership.
