🌿 Did you know? In the early 1970s, Congress passed three of our most important environmental laws—the National Environmental Protection Act, Clean Air Act, and Endangered Species Act—with overwhelming bipartisan support.

💧 The Clean Water Act faced a tougher path to passage. President Nixon vetoed it—but public support was so strong, Congress overrode the veto the very next day!

🤔 Why did these landmark laws have such strong bipartisan support back then?

🔥In the late ’60s and early ’70s, the environment was in crisis—rivers burned, oil spills made headlines, and smog filled the air. Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) had helped spark a national movement, and public pressure pushed lawmakers from both parties to act, protecting our air, water, and wildlife.

🌎 Today, we’re facing a new kind of crisis—these and other essential environmental laws that for decades have protected our health, communities, and wildlife are under attack.

📢 But if this history teaches us anything, it’s this: our voices are our power—and when we speak up together, we can have an impact!

 ✊ Now, more than ever, your voice is needed! This Earth Month, join us in urging Congress to protect our essential environmental laws! Click here to take action today!

Public outcry works. Protest works.

Keep raising hell!
