Your gift on Giving Tuesday supports our clean-water crusade

Tuesday, Dec. 3, is Giving Tuesday, a day when your generosity can help change our world — and our waterways.

On Giving Tuesday we'll issue our 2024 Impact Report, so you can see where we made a difference this year, thanks to your generosity. And your support during the annual 24-hour global day of giving will help us do even more.

It will underwrite additional work on our Dirty Money Project. It will help us put more pressure on elected officials who prioritize special interests over clean water. It will fund our investigative reporting; and it will help VoteWater grow to meet the mounting clean-water challenges that Florida faces.

As a 501(c)(4), your donation to VoteWater is not tax deductible, but we can do things most conservation groups can’t. We can support or oppose candidates for office. We can probe campaign finance. We can do almost unlimited lobbying.

In short, we can fight for clean water in the political arena — where so much of this crucial battle takes place.

Will you support our efforts by making a donation to VoteWater today or on Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3? Now more than ever, the fight for cleaner water needs you.

Our ticker remains at "00" — for now. But the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has said it will begin discharges to the St. Lucie, Caloosahatchee and Lake Worth Lagoon on Dec. 7. It's just more proof that despite the implementation of the Lake Okeechobee System Operating Manual, despite the new reservoir and stormwater treatment being built in the Everglades Agricultural Area, despite all the progress of recent years — we're STILL getting dumped on. And it needs to stop, at long last.
