Dear John

David Axelrod, political analyst and former advisor to President Obama, had some high praise recently for American Rivers and our partners. Following our November win on two ballot measures in Colorado, he said:

“The sponsors of those initiatives put together unusual coalitions of farmers and environmentalists and chambers of commerce, and so on, and in that sense, it’s a blueprint of winning coalitions in the future.“

At American Rivers, we’re all about building winning coalitions -- it’s why we’re effective.

Will you support our vital work that brings people together around wins for rivers nationwide? Through December 31, all gifts are matched!
 

In every region of the country, with any issue -- whether it’s ensuring clean water for farms and cities, removing outdated dams, or protecting a healthy river as Wild and Scenic -- American Rivers is successful because we focus on the values that connect us, rather than the differences that divide.

Supporters like you are a critical part of our winning coalitions for rivers, and we need you even more as we head into the new year. In December all gifts up to $150,000 will be matched. Donate today and help us use our winning blueprint for rivers nationwide. 

For the Rivers,
