John,

There’s no sugarcoating it. Last night’s election results were disheartening and scary. Next year, we’ll be living under a second Trump administration and all that it brings. Last night, I was sad and dejected. Today, I’m ready to fight back.

During the campaign, Trump and his allies made it clear that they intend an all-out assault on civil rights, environmental protections, and people who disagree with him. We can expect four years of chaos, corporate cronyism, and an assault on our freedoms.

We still don’t know the outcome in the House – it’s essential that all votes are counted.

Either way, we’ve seen this playbook before. We know what it takes to win, and we’re prepared to fight — from the streets to the courts to the halls of Congress — while advancing protections for our food, water, and climate at the state level.

We can’t let Trump and his allies succeed. Together, we’ll fight Trump’s actions from day one, while projecting a bold vision on food, water, and climate that speaks to people’s basic needs.

Join us in taking on Trump and advancing this vision by making a gift to Food & Water Watch today. Together, we can secure protections for the resources that we all need to live — clean water, sustainable and affordable food, and a climate that supports life on Earth.

After decades of advocacy work, I've been through a lot of tough situations, and as a student of history, I know that change happens locally. When we bridge the divide and bring communities together around the issues that impact us all, we can win.

Food & Water Watch staff are already putting together rapid response plans to protect our collective victories, keep our water and food safe, and keep fossil fuels in the ground.

In the new year, we’ll put pressure on key members of Congress to ensure that Democrats don’t give one inch to right-wing demands coming out of the White House and from Republican leadership. At the same time, we will mobilize to advance progressive policies at the state and local levels.

We’re looking for 500 Food & Water Action activists to help jumpstart this plan by giving $10 today. Can we count on you, John? Your gift will power community outreach and provide the resources to train volunteers!
