Fighting for a just future — with or without the help of the courts

*********************
Dear Friend,

The Supreme Court is closing out its session and releasing decisions with the potential to have a lasting impact on fundamental human rights and critical public health safeguards. The Court's rightward turn will undoubtedly make things more difficult, but we’re not going down without a fight.

The good news is that the Supreme Court is just one tool in our toolbox. We will still take cases to lower courts, protest in the streets, show up in every public comment period available to us, make it clear to our elected officials that they will not get our support if they don’t act, and generally disrupt the status quo until we get what we need. The times are challenging, but we owe it to ourselves and every future generation that has a right to a livable planet to try to do something, anything, to create change.

The events of this month are a reason to double down on the work we’re doing, not give up. You can join us in continuing the work by taking all the actions below on one page.

Stop a mine from being built in Alaska’s Bristol Bay

Alaska’s Bristol Bay is home to some of the most abundant salmon populations found anywhere in the world, a $2 billion fishing industry, and Native communities that have thrived on this resource for millennia. However, for more than a decade, the threat of a huge, open-pit copper and gold mine has loomed over the heart of the irreplaceable Bristol Bay watershed. The project has been delayed because hundreds of thousands of supporters like you have been tenaciously pushing back on the project – and we need your help again to finally stop Pebble Mine from being built.

Tell the EPA to protect us from legacy coal ash dumps

People living near toxic coal ash dumps across the U.S. are threatened with water poisoned by arsenic, lead, radium, and other heavy metals. Loopholes in the EPA’s rules let polluters at more than 500 coal ash waste sites around the US off the hook for cleaning up the toxic mess they’ve created. Tell the EPA to close these dangerous loopholes and require cleanup at all the nation’s leaking coal ash dumps!

Restore the Snake River

The fate of Snake River salmon — and the dams that endanger them — could be decided in the next month. After multiple decades of litigation, both sides agreed to pause the lawsuits for a year and work out a plan that does right by the salmon and Snake River communities. That pause ends in about two weeks, but the good news is that Senator Patty Murray and Governor Jay Inslee of Washington just released a draft report describing a real path forward. Join us in making a public comment on the report and contacting your senators in support of dam removal.
