Stop ALEC Chip in $5 right now and a generous LCV donor will donate $100,000 » DONATE TO LCV kapil, Google, Yahoo, and Facebook were all once a part of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) — the deceptively named industry policy group with funding ties to the Koch brothers and other polluters. But before you swear off most of the Internet, rest easy that many of these companies have left the group. The reason for this tech exodus? ALEC now poses one of the biggest threats to our public health and climate. Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that ALEC was “just literally lying” about the reality of climate change, and that’s bad for everyone. Everyone except the Koch brothers, Big Oil, Big Coal, and every other polluter who thinks a fat bottom line is more important than our children’s future. These tech influencers leaving ALEC is a huge win — thousands of activists pushed for these companies to cut ties — but it’s not enough to fight off ALEC forever. Not even close. ALEC and all its dirty industry supporters are preparing to work with climate science-denying allies in Congress and state houses to block the Clean Power Plan. That’s why LCV and our state LCV partners must be ready. We’re going all in to fight ALEC and its allies, and we need you behind us. Chip in $5 today so we can unlock a $100,000 gift from a generous donor and be equipped to defend the environment » ALEC wants to change the Clean Power Plan beyond recognition — the plan that we all worked so hard to support and that gives us the best chance to lower carbon pollution from power plants — the largest unchecked source of pollution. And they’re seeking to dismantle state clean energy laws that increase use of wind and solar power and clean up our air. This is a state-by-state and national fight. We need you — don’t miss this opportunity to make a difference! Please make the donation today that gets us closer to our $100,000 goal. With your generosity, we can unlock our $100,000 donation and give the environment a fighting chance. kapil, I’ll tell you right now that it is not too late to stop climate change. Just this week at the United Nations climate summit in Lima, climate scientists released a report that if the U.S., China, and the European Union stick to their emission reduction promises, we CAN slow the warming of the Earth. And President Obama and the EPA are ready to make these pledges a reality — the ambitious Clean Power Plan is an example of that. Eight million people wrote in support of significant cuts in climate pollution from power plants, and more than 1 million of them were generated by LCV supporters. That means one in eight of the comments submitted came from people like you, so you know that your contribution to LCV will mean a lot in this fight. We can win this fight for clean energy and climate protection. Your donation WILL make a difference in this fight. Please chip in $5 today »
