Friend,

48 years ago today, the Clean Water Act became a U.S. federal law.

This was a landmark piece of legislation -- one that finally pushed states to address pollution and provide crucial funding for wetland protection.

The passage of this law was a win for our nation and a necessary step towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

We must continue to act NOW. We are still in the midst of an urgent climate crisis -- one that requires immediate action, otherwise we will lose the planet we all depend on for life.

I've been an advocate for environmental justice my entire career -- and my time as a community organizer has shown me that real change requires meaningful action.

We are facing an emergency of unimaginable proportions -- and we need leaders in Congress who will make this a priority. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can to help me combat climate change in Congress?

Greenhouse gas emissions are at an all-time high, glaciers and ice sheets are melting faster than ever, rising sea levels are posing a serious threat to coastal cities, and natural disasters are proving more frequent and destructive.

Not to mention, communities of color are disproportionately impacted by these dangers. I've seen the intersection between racial and environmental issues first-hand while growing up in Barrio Logan -- where the air is polluted and asthma became a pervasive problem. The playground I went to as a kid was under a highway, where cars zoomed by emitting harmful fumes. No kid should be put at risk of long-term health conditions.

That's why I served as an associate director for the Environmental Health Coalition, where I helped drive toxic industries out of local neighborhoods. As president of the City Council, I am spearheading the implementation of San Diego’s Climate Action Plan -- which puts our city on a path to 100% clean energy.

In Congress, I'll continue to fight tirelessly on climate change to get the Green New Deal passed, so we can tackle the climate crisis head-on while creating millions of clean energy jobs.

Please, rush a donation of $5 or anything you can to help me push these comprehensive solutions at the federal level before it's too late.

You deserve a representative who will be a champion for a more sustainable future, and my commitment to you is exactly that.

Let's go out and win this thing, friend.
