John,
The Trump administration wants to strike down New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act.
This game-changing climate resilience plan requires fossil fuel companies to help fund infrastructure upgrades and disaster mitigation projects in New York. This precedent-setting law will finally require the corporations most responsible for creating this crisis to share in paying for the damage caused by their pollution.
But now New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act is being challenged by the Trump administration.
At Food & Water Watch, we support bold climate action that holds the fossil fuel industry accountable for its climate-harming pollution. We won’t sit by while the Trump administration tries to roll back corporate accountability measures. That’s why our legal team joined with allies and moved to intervene to defend the law!
Help power our next legal fight! We have a goal of raising $3,000 in the next 24 hours. A generous donor is matching all gifts — so your gift of $15 = $45! ([link removed])
Support Legal Action! ([link removed])
The New York Climate Change Superfund Act requires the largest fossil fuel companies with a connection to the state to pay $75 billion over 25 years to fund critical climate adaptation projects, shifting a portion of the costs of the climate crisis from New Yorkers to those who bear the greatest responsibility for climate-harming greenhouse gas pollution.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration brought separate suits against New York and Vermont, alleging that the states’ climate superfund statutes are unconstitutional.
We won’t let the Trump administration dismantle our hard-fought environmental protections. That’s why our legal team and our allies are fighting to protect New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act through legal action!
But we need you with us to fund this critical legal work — your gift today will be TRIPLED to hold fossil fuel polluters accountable! ([link removed])

The courts have been an essential tool in holding polluters accountable and keeping Trump’s power in check.
We won’t allow the Trump administration to dismantle critical environmental laws meant to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable and build the infrastructure needed for a livable future—particularly when the health and safety of millions of people are at stake.
Any gift you make during our 24-hour match challenge will be put to use for:
Covering costs in our fight to protect New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act through legal action.
Supporting our legal team’s ability to present our strongest case to hold the administration and polluters accountable.
Continuing our work to investigate, shed light on, and challenge the Trump administration’s actions that threaten people and the planet.
