Our waters are under unprecedented attack, as the Trump administration continues to roll back environmental regulations in favor of moneyed polluting industries.
We must do more in courtrooms, statehouses, on Capitol Hill, and on waterways everywhere to defend the waters we all rely on. That’s why we’re seeking a total of 48 donors by midnight tonight to honor Sunday’s 48th anniversary of the Clean Water Act.
Richard Nixon vetoed the Clean Water Act in 1972, stating that we couldn’t afford clean water.
In rolling back nearly 100 environmental regulations, President Trump is essentially making the same argument: A healthy planet is not worth the cost.
Well, Friend, we know it is worth the cost — for our physical health, a sustainable economy, and the pristine beauty of our landscapes.
In the run-up to the Clean Water Act anniversary this Sunday, we must all redouble our commitment to drinkable, fishable, swimmable waters, and this is the job of many.
Every gift, no matter the amount, is a signal that you’re not giving up on our shared work, mission, and belief that protecting our waters is tantamount to protecting human life.
The clock is running low, and we’re in danger of falling short of our goal. With so much at stake, we need to know you’re with us.
