Today is Earth Day, Friend, we have a challenge before us!Â
A close friend of Waterkeeper is matching up to $25,000 in donations through midnight TONIGHT. If we can get there (and I know we can) we’ll have unlocked key funds to make good on our shared belief: Clean water is a human right.
I’m thinking today of Megh Ale, the Karnali River Waterkeeper in Nepal who’s leading the charge to protect the pristine Karnali River against a massive hydroelectric dam project.Â
My thoughts are also in Missouri, where Rachel Bartels, the Missouri Confluence Riverkeeper, is suing the state’s largest public utility to stop illegal pollution from toxic coal ash.Â
I’m proud to be a part of this work, all around the world, because I believe everyone deserves drinkable, fishable, swimmable water — period. No. matter. what.Â
Agree?
For the rest of today only, your gift is DOUBLED, and we have $22,993Â to raise, or we leave crucial funds on the table.
P.S. This match isn’t all we have going on for Earth Day! In my previous life, I portrayed physician assistant Jeanie Boulet on the long-running series ER… and I am thrilled to remind you that my old friends and colleagues, including George Clooney and Julianna Margulies, are reuniting in support of Waterkeeper Alliance tonight at 8 p.m., EDT., on Stars In the House!
