Be a Guardian for Living Rivers

Living rivers and clean water are vital to all life. Flowing healthy rivers nourish communities, connect ecosystems, transport nutrients, and provide corridors and habitat for fish and wildlife.

Unfortunately, these essential arteries of life are under attack by outdated water policies, failing infrastructure, overuse, climate change, and the Trump administration’s massive environmental and public health rollbacks.

Speak out today to protect and defend clean and abundant water for people and ecosystems. We need your voice. Sign the petition (and personalize the letter) that will be sent to members of Congress.

I call on you to prioritize clean water and living rivers to protect both people and ecosystems.

A century of unsustainable water policies has eliminated dynamic and perennial flows, disconnected aquatic habitat, destroyed meandering floodplains, poisoned communities, and imperiled native species. Climate change now threatens to dramatically reduce flows and increase demands on what water remains. We all need clean water and healthy rivers to survive and thrive.

The Trump administration continues to add insult to injury by rolling back environmental and public health safety nets that protect living rivers and allow people's voices to be heard. The administration has proudly gutted nearly 100 environmental and public health laws, opening our waterways to pollution, limiting access to information, silencing people's voices, and providing a pathway for destruction of a healthy environment.

We need you to champion clean water and healthy rivers for our communities and the environment. Water is life and without a new water management paradigm we will drain the lifeblood of rivers and deprive present and future generations of the ability to thrive.

Sincerely,
