URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED! ALL DONATIONS NOW DOUBLED, UP TO $5,000, TO ADVANCE STATE ENVIRONMENT RIGHTS (through Green Amendments) TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST NATIONAL ROLLBACKS.Donate here: givebutter.com/5ShVc1We can RECLAIM OUR RIGHTS!In light of the election, a generous benefactor* is offering to match all donations made to GAFTG, dollar for dollar, up $5,000, now through the end of November! With the incoming administration expected to roll-back and slash as many federal environmental protections as possible, while also empowering damaging and well-funded industries to accelerate harmful activities without regard for their environmental and human health impacts– Green Amendment protections are needed now, more than ever. State-level protections, especially at the highest level attainable (i.e. the rights guaranteed in our constitutions’ Bill of Rights), are our best defense. And GAFTG has been paving the path for these safeguards for the past 10 years.We have our work cut out for us, but we have a plan. With your help, we can continue to fight for lasting environmental protections that can withstand the shifting tides of politics. Give today, Double your Impact, & Help Ensure Lasting Green Amendments Now & for Generations to Come.Donate here:givebutter.com/5ShVc1*This generous Donation Match Opportunity was made in honor of a long-time Environmental Rights Advocate and Activist; a Curious, Genuine, and Inspiring Person; a Devoted Dad and a Great Friend – Larry Stauffer.
