Voices for the Voiceless-Help Keep the Endangered Species Act Strong!
Please take this 5 minute action to keep the Endangered Species Act (ESA) strong!
Issue: Protected species often live in critical watersheds, depending upon the health of rivers, wetlands, forests and streams. If ESA protections are rolled back, the waters that support these species could be opened up for development or pollution, directly threatening water quality. Allowing oil, gas and timber development to expand in sensitive areas will elevate risks of groundwater contamination and increasing runoff. Gutting the ESA could mean short-term profits at the cost of long term water crises.
Action Opportunity: We are calling on the Waterspirit community to provide a public comment that is not just one click away. This comment requires that you go onto the Federal Register website and submit your prepared comment directly to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Department of Interior; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Commerce Department.

Water, Fire and the Future
While New Jersey grapples with ongoing drought warning status and the aftermath of the devastating Jones Road Wildfire, we are reminded of the deep interconnection between our actions and the health of our planet. Our planet, our common home, is crying out under the weight of our neglect. The land is parched. Forests can grow brittle. With 85% of wildfires caused by human activity, the connection between drought, ecological degradation and preventable destruction becomes alarmingly clear. Water is sacred, water is life, we are water.
