You Hold Corporations and Agencies Endangering our Resources Accountable Incredible People Like You Are at the Heart of Our Work (continued)
Strategic legal actions are some of the best tools for holding polluters and the agencies responsible for regulating them accountable. Because of you, Food & Water Watch’s legal team is a force to be reckoned with.
Tarah Heinzen, Legal Director I believe in Food & Water Watch’s determination to fight for and win the change we need, not just what seems politically possible or expedient. To secure a livable future we need to fight for deep, structural change. I value the role Food & Water Watch plays
in the broader environmental and progressive movement, embold- ening our partners to take stronger positions on critical issues. In my role, that means our legal team also gets to be bold — we bring high-impact lawsuits and provide legal support to strategic organizing campaigns. The range of work we do — from tactical support at the local level to major impact litigation at the national level — keeps our work as interesting as it is meaningful.
Erin Doran, Senior Attorney I was drawn to Food & Water Watch because of its dual focus on factory farms and
climate. As the climate crisis becomes more and more dire, I feel more and more compelled to engage in this work. What I look forward to on a typical day is collabo- rating with partners or other folks at Food & Water Watch and beyond. It’s helpful to have a broad perspective from the different coalitions we’re involved in to strategize about how we can best address complex environmental problems.
