Dear Friend,

This Earth Day may not seem like the perfect time to unite for clean water. After all, the global pandemic seems overwhelming.

But your individual actions can make a difference!

In 1970, when the first Earth Day was held, campuses were erupting in protest. Cities were trying to recover from the violent unrest of the prior five years, unrest that had left scores dead.

Still, more than 20 million Americans marched that day fifty years ago, launching the modern environmental movement.

You don’t have to take to the streets this Earth Day. But you can still unite—online—to work for a healthier planet.

Your support for drinkable, fishable, swimmable water worldwide will save lives.

Your support helped win tougher mercury and toxic emissions standards for U.S. power plants, standards that have prevented 4,700 heart attacks and 130,000 asthma attacks every year since 2012, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Your support is helping Waterkeepers in Peru fight dams that threaten the Amazon’s source river.

Without you, this wouldn’t be possible.

Join us in taking action this Earth Day:
* I'll be LIVE on our Facebook page ([link removed]) at 2:30 pm ET today, discussing the work Waterkeepers around the world are doing.
* Read our latest blog and take action ([link removed]) on plastics.
* Create your legal will online with FreeWill ([link removed]) today, and consider leaving a bequest to Waterkeeper Alliance.
* Donate ([link removed]) so we can continue the work we do together.

One person can make a difference. You already have. Thank you for all you do.

To clean water,

Marc Yaggi
Executive Director
