Message from Wenonah Food & Water Watch members like you are central to solving the
progress in our fight for a livable future. From legal wins that improve transparency in how our food is produced, to successfully fighting off profit-hungry corporations from taking over public water systems, to defeating multiple attempts in the U.S. Senate to fast-track all fossil fuel projects in this country — we have so much to celebrate together.

Because of you, we were prepared to meet the demands of each fight. You are the backbone of all our accomplishments in 2022. Thank you for fighting like you live here!

Emily Fights Food Misinformation
Struck down an anti- whistleblower law in Iowa that would have
Pursued a lawsuit to force the EPA to begin a detailed study of factory farm water pollution to determine how to strengthen its Clean Water Act regulations. This study is a critical opportunity for the agency to understand the true scope of factory farm water pollution, something it has lacked for decades.
Emily and the Food & Water Watch legal team filed a lawsuit against Smithfield Foods in 2021 for fabricating a national meat shortage to drive up demand and lying about the unsafe conditions its workers endured during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. “We knew that Smithfield was making wildly false claims about the national meat supply. We were never in danger of running out. We also found that it was trying to weaken worker protections in order to protect its bottom line.” In 2022, a Congressional investigative report confirmed our allegations, and a court rejected Smithfield’s attempt to dismiss our lawsuit. Emily
criminalized undercover investigations into animal cruelty, unsafe working conditions and food safety threats at factory farms, slaughterhouses and other animal facilities. Won a court decision that rejected Smithfield Food’s attempt to dismiss Food & Water Watch’s lawsuit against it. A damning Congressional report was released just before this ruling that confirmed our allegations shortages and endangered its workers with “glaringly deficient” safety protocols during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. that Smithfield lied to the public about meat

VICTORIES Mary and Kate Fight Water System Privatization
municipalization of water utilities in New York, we saw communities on the North Shore of Long Island reclaim control of their water. Stopped Poseidon Water from building a water desalination plant in Huntington Beach, California after a 10-year- plus campaign. Celebrated the launch of Water for All in Baltimore, Maryland, a comprehensive water affordability program. This victory comes after six years of organizing. Secured $55 billion in federal funds for water infrastructure in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Mary and Kate worked together this year to take on a powerful private equity firm trying to buy Pleasantville, New Jersey’s sewer system. Mary leaned on her policy expertise to arm Kate with information that helped the community understand why it should care about who runs its sewer system. Kate relied on tried and true organizing tools to connect with the people of Pleasantville. Through their joint efforts, residents learned how private control of their sewer system would lower water quality, strain their pocketbooks and put them at the mercy of a corporation interested in maximizing profits. The community rallied to demand its sewer system remain public — and won!
for the WATER Act, legislation that would create a $35 billion annual fund to pay for much- needed safety repairs and upgrades to our aging water infrastructure across the country. Defeated attempts by private corporations from taking over public wastewater systems in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and Pleasantville, New Jersey — saving the residents from lower service quality and higher bills. The Bucks County deal would have been the largest in U.S. history. Also, after successfully urging New York Governor Hochul last year to support the

VICTORIES Megan Fights Fracking When multiple fracking facilities began construction near the elementary school Megan’s niece attended, her niece became sick. So did nearly every child in that school. Then Megan learned of plans for yet another fracked gas facility to be built nearby. Driven to protect her family, she rallied her community and led the grassroots effort to stop the plant — and won! This year Megan mobilized thousands of residents to demand a ban on fracking in all Allegheny County parks. The strong showing of people power led to a landslide victory. A landmark bill now protects 12,000 acres of beloved parkland.

Now they’re making a comeback.” November 4, 2022 ”An analysis by the advocacy group Food & Water Watch tallies the potential climate impact if every natural gas project on the table gets built. By 2030, the ‘lifecycle footprint’ — which includes the impact of extracting, processing, and shipping it all, plus the greenhouse gas effects when it is burned for energy — would equal the emissions of 621 million cars on the road for a year. It would be like building 100 new coal plants, according to the group.”

Why isn’t my name here? Each year we publish this list to honor and recognize those people and institutions that provided extraordinary support. If you are wondering why your name isn’t here... it could be in the future! We only listed people who gave us explicit permission, and only listed them in the format they requested. Many people and foundations wish for their names to be anonymous, and we have honored their requests. If you feel your name should be on this year’s list, and we missed it, please accept our apologies, but know that we erred on the side of caution and only listed the names of those who gave us explicit permission to list them. We tried hard to get it right, and are very sorry if we inadvertently omitted or incorrectly listed your name. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Philanthropy Coordinator by email at donate@fwwatch.org or by phone at (202) 683-4941. Thank you again to all who agreed to be recognized — and to all who wished to remain anonymous — for your incredible support. We would love to honor you and publicly recognize your contributions next year!
