Dear John,
You voted climate change as the 2nd most grave threat to rivers, because you understand the urgency: the last five years have been the hottest on record, and rising temperatures are profoundly impacting our rivers and communities.
Storms are producing more life-threatening floods, toxic algae outbreaks are threatening drinking water sources, cities are struggling with dwindling water supplies, and wildlife are fighting to survive.
Climate change is the most consequential environmental challenge facing our planet. Now is our moment to act.
Stand up today to protect rivers and strengthen communities.
This is the perfect time to show your support. Right now, your gift will be matched so you can double your impact! Your $50 will become $100!
Because climate change is hitting rivers and water resources first and hardest, American Rivers is working at the local, regional and national levels to strengthen communities and river ecosystems. Your support at this critical moment will help us:
- Safeguard rivers that are still healthy and free-flowing by designating them as Wild and Scenic Rivers -- more than 600 river miles were protected last year.
- Advance innovative solutions for managing floodwaters, so communities don’t face the kind of devastation they did this past summer across the Midwest.
- Promote smart, equitable water supply approaches -- from Georgia to Arizona we’re helping towns do more with less.
A healthy river is one of our best defenses against the impacts of climate change. Please, give today to double your impact – for our rivers, and for our future.
For the rivers,
