Friends:

Please read this whole email — it is really important.

This is my ask: If you can afford it, we need you to become a paid supporter with the major discount below to fund our investigative journalism that pressures those in power to stop shilling for the fossil fuel industry and start seriously fighting the climate crisis that threatens all life on Earth...
$50 Per Year

— or —
$4.99 Per Month


Each day, climate records are being broken around the world. Temperatures are rising, the oceans are boiling, and the sky is filled with wildfire smoke. This crisis requires journalism that holds accountable those responsible. Our literal survival is at stake.

This past week, our reporting exposed the GOP’s stealth efforts to insert climate denial into federal spending bills at the behest of their oil donors –  a story that corporate media had previously ignored. The Lever focuses on exposing these abuses so that you can apply pressure where it’s needed.

But as a READER-SUPPORTED news outlet, we cannot do this expensive reporting without YOUR help.

So our ask is simple: Please use one of the discount options below to become a paying subscriber so that we can keep the pressure on.
$50 Per Year

— or —

$4.99 Per Month

When you become a paying subscriber, you get tons of special benefits, like e-books, premium podcasts, exclusive weekly newsletters, and more. Most importantly, you directly fund the journalism that is shaming politicians into necessary action.

If you can’t become a subscriber but still want to chip in, you can make a one-time donation. Anything helps.
Make A One-Time Donation


I know emails asking you for help can be annoying, but this is really important. Thanks for considering this request — we’re doing everything we can to keep the pressure on politicians to stop defending corporations and start protecting people.

Rock the boat,
Sirota
