Dear NRDC Activist,

The "Dirty Water Rule."

That's what we call President Trump's move to give fossil fuel giants, factory farms, and other industrial polluters the green light to pollute thousands of vital rivers, lakes, and streams with no repercussions.

Trump's EPA has released a disastrous plan to gut the protections of the Clean Water Act that help prevent the pollution of drinking water sources for millions of Americans. It makes no scientific, legal, public health, or fiscal sense.

NRDC is prepared to fight back at all costs to stop this senseless attack on clean water, our environment, and our health.

But right now we need your help to rally a massive public outcry.

Tell the EPA to reject Trump's disastrous Dirty Water Rule and protect our swimming and fishing spots and sources of drinking water for millions of Americans.

The Clean Water Act was designed to protect lakes, rivers, streams, and other waterways across the country, and hold polluters responsible if they violate its requirements.

Trump's Dirty Water Rule will gut those critical protections, and threaten to contaminate our drinking water supplies and destroy important habitats for aquatic wildlife.

And while slashing safeguards for clean water will impact ALL Americans, low-income communities and communities of color could be hit the hardest — exacerbating inequality in communities that are already disproportionately impacted by polluted water.

We must stop this no-holds-barred attack on our clean water. Call on the EPA to reject Trump's dangerous Dirty Water Rule immediately.

The Trump administration has been attacking clean water since Trump came into office, and NRDC has sued to protect it.

You can be sure that we'll continue to fight this outrageous assault on clean water — in and out of court — and any Trump administration attack on our environment and health.

Will you join us today and demand that the EPA protect clean water for all?

Thank you for speaking out.

Sincerely,

Mitch Bernard
Chief Counsel, NRDC
