Dear ,
As we celebrate Independence Day, we’re reminded that real freedom includes the right to clean, safe water—and the power to hold polluters accountable.
Thanks to your support, we just secured two major legal milestones:
In a landmark victory, a federal court ruled in Waterkeeper Alliance v. EPA that the agency must revisit outdated pollution standards for industries like refineries, plastics, and chemical manufacturing—rules that haven’t been meaningfully updated in decades.
And in Lake Erie, we’ve been granted the right to intervene in a federal lawsuit challenging Ohio’s dangerously weak plan to reduce toxic algal blooms. Our goal: to fix the plan and set national precedent for how factory farms are regulated under the Clean Water Act.
These are critical wins—but polluters are already pushing back.
Your donation will helps us:
Hold EPA accountable during the next rulemaking phase
Support litigation to protect communities from toxic runoff
Provide technical expertise and legal pressure when it counts
Let’s make sure these victories lead to real, lasting change.
