John,

I remember the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 – the feeling of something big coming as more than 20 million people gathered across the country to protest environmental destruction, kicking off a wave of regulatory protections in Congress. Now, we’re facing a similar moment of crisis for our environment.

The Musk-Trump administration is jeopardizing past and future progress, taking a sledge hammer to environmental protections, including those to limit air pollution and protect rivers and streams. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) itself is also threatened with massive cuts to staff and funding.

We need to fight back against Musk and Trump before it’s too late! Your Earth Day gift to Food & Water Watch will be MATCHED to have TRIPLE the impact to defend the hard-fought environmental protections that keep our air, water, and planet healthy and safe.

The bedrock environmental laws that protect us today were fought for and WON by people like you. These victories for our planet came about because millions of people demanded change from all corners of society.

To fight Musk and Trump, we need a similar broad-based movement. Because we’re not going back! Are you with us, John?

By making your Earth Day gift today, you’ll do three times as much to power the work to defend important programs and protections through the courts.

You’ll power our hard-hitting research that exposes the corporate greed behind threats to our food and water. And you’ll power our work in the streets, from nationwide rallies to local letter deliveries, demanding our elected officials stand up for their constituents against the Musk-Trump agenda.

Will you fight for environmental protections this Earth Day and help us reach our goal of $30,000? Give now and have your contribution matched, $2-for-$1!

Thank you for making an impact this Earth Day, and every day. Your dedication to protecting the environment is an inspiration and a necessity.

Onward,
