Our clean water isn't for sale
<http://image.emails.sierraclub.org/lib/fe8f1372746d007871/m/22/1a6411f1-d430-4730-a89c-6df5a08e58b0.png>
John, every day this week, a new story is breaking about another way Trump is sacrificing our health, our clean air and water, and our communities. Polluters profit. We pay.
This week, the Trump administration took action to revive old, failing coal plants and end the EPA's ability to limit climate pollution. We have the technology we need to build a clean
energy revolution, but Trump is bailing out polluting fossil fuels. His donors profit. We get sicker, our electric bills go up, and our air and water get dirtier.
We can't let these attacks on our health and future keep us silent -- that's exactly what Trump and his polluter allies are counting on. They want to "flood the zone," so we feel hopeless
and overwhelmed and stop fighting back. Don't let them.
Unfortunately, the administration is trying to further reduce protections for drinking water and waterways, opening them up to more pollution. We need to make our voices heard.
Will you write a personal comment to protect our clean water before the Feb 17 deadline? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6ImI3ZmEyYWQ4LTYwZjMtNGRjYS05ZTc1LTVmZmFjZDk0MjY0MyIsImRla1

💥 What happened? (the quick version):
Clean water is something that we can all agree on.
The Clean Water Act is the main law that keeps our water clean, and 73 percent of Americans -- including most Republicans -- support it.1
For generations, the 401 rule has required careful checks and local input on federal oil and gas projects that might pollute local rivers and streams. But the Trump administration recently
announced its intent to roll back protections under the Clean Water Act.
The proposed rollback of critical environmental protections is another in a line of clear giveaways to the billionaires who helped get Trump elected.
🚨 What is at stake?
It's not just drinking water that is at risk. There are our rivers and streams where we swim in the summer, where our children splash and play, and where our families fish.
If we allow our rivers and streams to lose local protections, states will need to spend more money to clean up local waterways. This will come directly from you as a taxpayer.
🫵 What can you do?
Clean water is a human right -- it shouldn't be sold to the highest bidder. The EPA has one job. They need to hear loud and clear that we demand they preserve our right to fight back
when polluting projects put our health and environment at risk. Will you comment now before the February 17 deadline? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6ImMwODg5ZTM0LWI0YzYtNGM4Ny04

The Trump administration is trying to ignore comments submitted with the same message -- that's when you just add your name without including a personal note. So don't forget to write
a short personal message so your voice can't be missed!

You can also help us make sure as many people as possible know about Trump's shameless and unpopular attacks on water protections. Will you share a post on social media or directly with
friends and family to advocate for our clean water? <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6IjAyZTFjNGM2LTk0NDItNDRkNi04ZGE0LTlhMDg1YjM1NWI4MSIsImRla1ZlcnNpb24iOjEsIml2IjoiUCtYbGFDM0RIZj

Attacks on environmental protections are growing, and we're losing a lot. This makes it that much more important to not be silent. We must not give in.
Thank you for refusing to back down in such a difficult time. We're in this together.
