John,

The Trump Administration is allowing millions of pounds of slaughterhouse pollution to be dumped into waterways across the country.

Our response? We’re taking Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency to court to demand that they protect the water we all need to survive.

To power this legal battle, we need 100 Food & Water Watch members like YOU to make a gift in the next 48 hours!

If you’re one of the first 100 people who pitch in, your gift will unlock an additional $10,000 in match funds from a group of generous donors! Will you help us secure this special match offer, John?

This fall, we joined allies to file a lawsuit challenging Trump’s decision to abandon proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations that would have prevented millions of pounds of slaughterhouse and meat processing plant pollution from reaching our waterways.

In a giveaway to the factory farming industry, Trump is allowing biohazardous waste that could contaminate drinking water sources and devastate ecosystems to enter the rivers and streams that sustain us.

Now, briefing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will run from the end of November 2025 to the beginning of January 2026.

We won’t allow Trump to give Big Meat corporations a free pass to foul our waterways. To fight back, we need you with us to hold Trump accountable in court!

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

• Covering court costs in our lawsuit to force the EPA to do its job and protect waterways.

• 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.

Trump may think he’s above the law – but we know that 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 regulations meant to protect public health and the environment – particularly when essential waterways, and the health and safety of millions of people, are at stake.

As long as Trump is pushing his illegal agenda to 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 to unlock $10,000!

Onward together,
