Hi — Clean water shouldn’t be a luxury.

But in Trump’s 2026 budget, the GOP has proposed cutting $8 million from the National Estuary Program — including critical funding for clean water initiatives right here in New York.

These programs protect our drinking water, preserve coastal habitats and safeguard communities from pollution. Slashing their funding would leave Long Island and countless other communities more vulnerable to contamination and environmental damage.

That’s why we’re launching a new petition to give folks like you a platform to speak out.

Our goal is 25,000 signatures in the next 72 hours to show overwhelming public support for protecting clean water and rejecting Trump’s reckless planned cuts. Will you add your name today?

Trump and his team making blanket cuts to programs isn’t just a mistake. It’s dangerous.

Every single signature matters. Every single voice helps show that Americans won’t stand by while corporate polluters and budget slashers put profits ahead of people.

We cannot let the Trump administration gamble with our health, our environment and our future. Together, we can send a powerful message: clean water is not negotiable.
