Because of environmental injustices

Dear Friends,

I write to ask for your support.

Last August, Katherine Egland from Gulfport, Mississippi contacted us. She’s a local, civil rights leader working with two, mostly African American communities that regularly flood due to commercial development on sensitive wetlands. She urgently needed a pro bono lawyer to file an injunction to stop even more environmentally destructive development. Within hours, we matched her up with a prominent attorney from the University of Mississippi.

Those construction plans are now on hold ([link removed]) .

In 2019, we provided mini-grants to 23 flood advocates from across the country. The money paid for room hire, local travel, group meals, T-shirts, FOIA requests, and planning appeal fees. Though modest, this support can be decisive in determining if a community group succeeds or fails ([link removed]) .

We are now the largest flood survivor network in the country, with 45 groups in 22 states. And we keep growing.

This is all possible because of you.

Your donation today ([link removed]) will help our members fight environmental injustice, stop the flooding, and reduce global warming. Even the smallest year-end contribution goes a long way.

Best wishes and Happy New Year,

Harriet Festing
