I’m not overstating it when I say — you make Food & Water Action possible.
Together we’ve accomplished so much — we’ve banned fracking, protected water for people over corporate profits, fought for safe food for everyone and demanded clean energy to ensure a livable climate.
But I’m writing because the challenges we are taking on today are the biggest issues humanity has ever faced. And the only way we’ll tackle these challenges is with a bold, strategic plan. And the only way we’ll win is with you.
This plan recognizes our urgent reality: We are running out of time to make the big changes we know are necessary for the survival of our planet. And while we’ve always been ready to fight for our future, this plan gives us a clearer focus on the priorities, goals and timelines that we need to win.
We will keep working persistently and strategically, as we have the past 14 years, but we’re spotlighting three core campaigns that speak directly to the things we’re fighting for:
Stop Catastrophic Climate Change by working at the federal, state and local levels to eliminate the production and use of fossil fuels. We are the national leader in the fight to ban fracking and stop fossil fuel pipelines, power plants and so much more; this effort builds on dozens of wins over the last 14 years. We are doubling down on our success to win bigger victories to end climate chaos.
Fight for Clean & Affordable Public Water for All by passing legislation to ensure the funding our water infrastructure needs and putting a stop to toxic chemicals and fracking waste that pollute our waterways.
Ban Factory Farms to help create a just and equitable food system that protects our air, water, communities, family farmers and climate.
Our primary focus will be on these three areas, but we won’t stop fighting on other critical issues, including: plastic contamination in our food, water and environment; water privatization; strengthening organic food standards and food safety laws; promoting a just society; and more.
The challenges we are taking on today are the biggest issues humanity has ever faced. Our approach to these issues is bold, uncompromising and hard-hitting — and it works. Every part of our identity, from our core campaigns to our tagline — Fight Like You Live Here — captures and shares that strength, conviction and hope.
One of the most critical pieces of this plan is you. There is no chance of progress without your support, your actions and your engagement. Everything that we’ve achieved has been together, and every step forward we make will be with you by our side.
I hope you’ll join me to fight for this bold vision, and to fight like you live here.
Onward,
