MATCH expires in 3 hours →
Friend, there are just three hours left in this one-day matching gift challenge, and I’m writing to follow up on Dan’s email from earlier this evening.
We’re just $2,251 short of our $5,000 match goal ([link removed]) , ([link removed]) and every dollar left behind is a missed opportunity to bring everything we have to the fight for clean water in 2022 — including urgent work to restore the Clean Water Act’s regulations to their original scope and power.
Time is so short on this critical opportunity, please, don’t wait to act. Make your tax-deductible gift before this MATCH expires at 11:59 p.m. → ([link removed])

Subject line: MATCH for action on clean water ends midnight (pls. act!)
Friend: Since Katie emailed you this morning, supporters from every corner of the U.S. have contributed to this surprise one-day match—leaving $4,077 to raise by midnight. ([link removed])
We’re now planning our most ambitious year of clean water work to date with an eagle eye on restoring the Clean Water Act regulations to their original scope and intent.
But we must ensure our budget matches our aspirations, and this match is critical.
Please, step up with a 100% tax-deductible gift to help restore the Clean Water Act before this match ends in seven hours’ time → ([link removed])

You’ve heard a lot from us about the weakening of Clean Water Act regulations over the years; about lax enforcement and willful abdication of the government’s duty to protect American waterways.
Our waters—and every single one of us—have paid the price.
* 70% of assessed U.S. lakes and reservoirs are deemed “impaired” by pollution.
* “Forever chemicals” such as toxic PFAS remain poorly regulated by the Clean Water Act.
* The Trump administration redefined the phrase “waters of the U.S.”—a key clause in the Clean Water Act—so narrowly it left 90%+ of New Mexico’s streams unprotected.
The Biden administration has begun to course correct, but not quickly enough, and not strongly enough. In fact, their proposed definition of “waters of the U.S.” still omits vital waters from protection in clear violation of the statute’s language and intent.
Remember: Change doesn’t simply happen; it is won — and that’s why this match, which ends at midnight, is so important! ([link removed])
Your gift provides twice the litigation, organizing, and advocacy to restore the Clean Water Act and protect drinkable, fishable, swimmable water across 45+ nations, worldwide. But we have $4,077 left to go in just seven hours, and I’m looking to you.
Please, act before this match expires at midnight with a tax-deductible gift now → ([link removed])
And thank you, for everything you do.
