John,

Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just announced its plans to reverse its ability to fight climate change by erasing the scientific finding that greenhouse gas emissions endanger human lives.

At Food & Water Watch, we won't let our environmental protections be dismantled without a fight — that’s why we’re taking the Trump administration to court!

Help power our lawsuit – your gift will be TRIPLED! We have a goal of raising $5,000 in the next 48 hours. A generous donor is matching all gifts — so your gift of $15 = $45!

Shortly after coming into office, Trump issued a series of executive orders that directed agencies to cut staffing dramatically and eliminate regulations protecting our food, water, and climate.

Another order directed the EPA to reconsider its 2009 finding that greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare – the finding that has enabled EPA to regulate the emissions driving climate change.

We quickly filed requests for information about how agencies plan to gut our environmental and health protections under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Rather than respond to our requests – as it is required by law to do – the Trump Administration has ignored them.

We won’t let the Trump administration dismantle our environmental protections behind closed doors. This week, we sued the Trump administration over orders to gut federal agencies and slash environmental protections.

Together, we can demand the transparency afforded to us by federal law, and we’re not backing down until we have answers.

But we need you with us to fund this critical legal work, John. Your gift today will be TRIPLED!

The Freedom of Information Act exists because the government must be accountable to the people it serves.

Even though Trump may think he’s above the law, he’s not. And the courts have been an important tool to hold his power in check.

We won’t allow Trump to flout the law and dismantle the agencies and regulations meant to protect public health and the environment in a black box – particularly when the health and safety of millions of people are at stake.

Any gift you make during our 48-hour match will be put to use for:

• Covering court costs in our lawsuit to force the Trump administration to respond to our Freedom of Information Act record requests.

• Supporting our legal team’s ability to present our strongest case to hold the administration accountable.

• Continuing our work to investigate, shed light on, and challenge every illegal move that Trump makes to threaten people and the planet.

I know you share Food & Water Watch's commitment to fighting for environmental protections. You have shown us time and again that you stand with us through thick and thin. You've trusted us to fight battles that others deem too daunting.

As long as Trump is pushing his illegal agenda to eliminate key government functions and gut environmental protections that keep our communities safe — all so corporations and billionaires can keep getting richer — we will be here. Fighting.

Our collective action today will help defend people and the planet from Trump’s toxic agenda.

In the next 48 hours, we’re rallying more power and resources for this critical legal fight – join us!

Let’s take on Trump, together.
