Oppose the Yazoo pumps
[[link removed]]
[[link removed]]Dear John,

The Trump Administration has made an unprecedented move to neuter the Clean
Water Act, taking one step closer to constructing the Yazoo Pumps, a project so
harmful it was vetoed by the George W. Bush administration.

Clean Water Act vetoes are supposed to be final and they are applied sparingly,
only 13 have ever been issued since the Act was signed into law in 1972. But the
Trump Administration wants to get rid of the veto power.

The Yazoo Pumps project is shockingly irresponsible. While the project will
drain wetlands to make more land available for cultivation, it will also
increase flood risk for 41,000 people in the Mississippi-Yazoo Delta.

The impacted land includes 200,000 acres of globally important wetlands in the
heart of the Mississippi River flyway, a wildlife corridor that supports
hundreds of species of fish, birds and bugs on their international migration
paths; millions of animals and birds will be affected

Act NOW! Tell the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that you oppose the Yazoo Pumps.
