John,

20 years ago this month, I founded Food & Water Watch to fight for the safe food, clean water, and livable climate we all deserve.

Today, we’re facing unprecedented attacks on our environment. But I can tell you from my decades of experience working on these critical issues: when we work together, we can take on polluters threatening our most precious resources and our planet — and win even the toughest fights.

You, John, are one of more than two million Food & Water Watch advocates nationwide fighting pollution, environmental destruction, and climate change. With you in the fight, and even in these challenging times, we're winning real, meaningful protections for our food, water, and climate — and making progress towards the healthy and sustainable future we all need to thrive.

Our staff and volunteers work with communities across the country to produce hard-hitting research, take polluters to court, and mobilize people to hold our elected officials accountable.

With you, over the past 20 years, we’ve:

• Banned fracking in 4 states and hundreds of counties and towns

• Defended communities from factory farm pollution in 11 states

• Protected public water in over three dozen cities across the country

• Passed food safety laws that work for farmers and families

It’s organizing people-powered wins like these that gives me hope for the future, even in these dark times. By coming together, we can turn back the attacks on our food, water, and climate and win the sustainable and just future we all deserve.

We’re thankful you’re with us in this fight, John!
