John,
With our climate on the brink of catastrophe and our food and water under attack by Trump and corporate polluters, we're in the fight of our lives.
We need to fight back every way we can, and our legal team has 18 active lawsuits against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and corporate polluters — lawsuits in which we've caught polluters flagrantly breaking the law or the government refusing to enforce key environmental protections.
But to win against the biggest polluters in the world and their armies of corporate lawyers, we absolutely must hit our year-end goal of $500,000 by midnight tomorrow.
We're suing the Trump administration to stop them from shielding industrial factory farms from reporting hazardous air pollution.
We're suing polluters like Tyson, which dumps 20 million pounds of toxic pollutants into our waterways every year.1
These are just two of the many cases our lawyers are currently involved with. They are also engaged in eight non-litigation issues and have another nine cases in development.2
These lawsuits are the last best chance to save our most precious environmental treasures, protect the climate, and protect our food and water.
But I'm going to be direct with you. If we fall short of our fundraising goals, we simply can't keep up these legal battles — and right now we're still short of our year-end goal of $500,000.
Food & Water Watch and its affiliated organization, Food & Water Action, are advocacy groups with a common mission to protect our food, water and climate. This email was sent to [email protected] - and we're glad you got it, because it's one of the most important ways you can reclaim political power, hold elected officials accountable and resist corporate control.
