Help us take down goliath

[[link removed]]John, you would love Lin Wellford.
An industrial hog farm was fouling her beloved Buffalo National River in
Arkansas, a pristine oasis of crystal waters and lush forests. Pollution from
hog waste harmed 70 miles of her river. Lin asked American Rivers for help, and
we placed the river on our list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers® of 2019.
And, we won: John, thousands of supporters like you
spoke up, calling and emailing Arkansas Governor Hutchinson. Just weeks after
the Endangered Rivers announcement in April, the governor agreed to close the
hog farm, and he put a ban on new industrial hog farms in the watershed.
This was a huge win, and it’s a great example of how American Rivers works with
local partners to protect rivers from urgent threats. And it showed just how
important our supporters are to our work.
Support us today to power more wins for clean water and rivers! All gifts in
December are matched!!

“I definitely think American Rivers played a huge part in taking our plight to a
national level. Kudos to you and all your supporters for helping us finally hit
a tipping point that no one thought we would ever hit.”
“Please spread the news far and wide to give all those other river advocates
hope that they too may slay the dragons they face,” says Lin.

For the rivers,
