Hi John, 

And welcome to EDF Momentum, a monthly round up of the wins we’re celebrating, the challenges we’re tackling and the impact your making with your advocacy and support. 
 
Each month, we will spotlight the stories, actions and voices that are building momentum for environmental progress. We promise to keep it brief — 500 words or less! 

This month we’re highlighting EDF’s latest efforts to protect wetlands, showing how renewable energy is changing the Midwest for the better, raising the alarm for chemical safety and sharing an insider’s guide to Environmental Justice.

Wind energy powered the Ferrell ranch in 1923 — and still does today. Wind turbines provide income, security and a future for this Kansas family's prairie legacy. 

Wetlands are extremely important, not just for their environmental and economic value, but also for recreation and their ability to protect us from flooding. 

Without proper protection, the health and safety of our waterways, wildlife and people will be put in jeopardy. Will you call on Congress to take action?

Want to better understand how your life connects to the environment? How environmental policies impact different communities across the country? And most importantly, how we can make our communities safer and healthier? 

If you said yes to any of the above, check out our environmental justice short series on YouTube! 

Before we close out, I just want to thank you for all of your support. Over the past ten months our teams have worked tirelessly to defend environmental safeguards at every level. And while there are still many battles to come, we promise to keep up the momentum every step of the way. 

We’ll keep you posted!
