The current national administration is aggressively slashing federal budgets, destroying vital programs at the EPA, NOAA, and FEMA, and dismantling decades of environmental progress. Amid growing tension and concern for our children's future, the most powerful antidote to any stress or anxiety is collective action.

 

Donating helps but giving your time has the greatest impact. Join us to channel your energy into local political action before the November 3rd election. Taking a stand alongside your community is the best way to fight back.
