As 2019 runs to a close John, it’s hard not to be concerned about how close we are to losing so many protections for rivers. President Trump and his administration are proposing major rollbacks that would upend decades of progress toward protecting water quality, wetlands, and endangered species.

Our supporters have identified these rollbacks as the #1 threat to rivers this year, and I have to agree. Without these key river protections, too much of the decision-making process will be in the hands of polluters, without the requirements for external review that currently exist.

Join us in fighting rollbacks to river protections!

I want you to know that American Rivers is not standing still while the Trump administration attacks core safeguards for our rivers and clean water:

• Fighting back in court: We’re challenging the EPA’s rollback of the Clean Water Rule that safeguards drinking water sources for millions of Americans.

• Mobilizing supporters: We’ve taken the names of more than 3,600 supporters to Capitol Hill to push back on the EPA’s proposed rule that would limit the authority under the Clean Water Act of states and tribes to affect federal dam, pipeline and other infrastructure construction.

• Standing up for endangered wildlife: We’re working with partners to defend the Endangered Species Act -- and protect the fish and other river wildlife that depend on this critical safety net.

Support us today to help fight the Trump Administration’s attacks on rivers.
