Friend: There are less than 48 hours until Earth Day, and we have a challenge ahead of us.
A close friend of Waterkeeper Alliance has offered to match every gift we receive, starting now — crucial funds that can support global action, because Clean Water is a Human Right. That means for everyone. Everywhere.Â
When we work together, we move closer to this vision of clean water for all. One thing you can do now?
Powerful forces everywhere take strong exception to clean water laws, fighting them with an eye to their bottom lines and finding powerful allies in halls of power.
It happens in the U.S., where fossil fuel, big agriculture, and other polluting industries loudly oppose restoring the Clean Water Act. It happens everywhere. Defending our waters isn't restricted by natural and man-made borders. We share this beautiful water planet and must be united in our efforts to protect it, no matter what part of the world we live in.
… In The Bahamas, where Waterkeepers Bahamas is fending off offshore drilling, refusing to let Bahamians become climate victims…
… in Senegal, where the Bargny Coast Waterkeeper successfully fought the 125-megawatt Sendou Coal Power Plant and is launching a campaign against the looming threat of offshore drilling…
… in Mexico, where the La Paz Waterkeeper and allies are working together to stop a massive, polluting industrial hog facility on the Yucatán Peninsula.
We confront these threats with this global movement, spanning hemispheres, DEMANDING drinkable, fishable, swimmable waters through organizing, advocacy, and litigation.Â
You are an invaluable part of this work and mission — and we’re asking you to ACT for Earth Day.Â
