Hi John,

I co-founded WE ACT for Environmental Justice in 1988 with Vernice Miller-Travis and Chuck Sutton to fight the environmental racism that was rampant in our West Harlem neighborhood, and demand community-driven, political change. As part of “The Sewage Seven” we were arrested for holding up traffic on the West Side Highway in January of 1988 to call attention to the North River Sewage Treatment Plant’s pollution. Since then, WE ACT has grown to a nationally-recognized leader in environmental justice.

We’ve had some big wins, but our opponents are more emboldened than ever to undo our progress. Our movement urgently needs a place to call home. WE ACT is building an Environmental Justice Center in Historic Hamilton Heights to strengthen our ability to serve as a movement-builder, sharing our knowledge, experience, and best practices, along with capacity-building resources with allies across the country. John, will you donate today to support the Environmental Justice Center? ([link removed])
