You’re Growing Our Volunteer Network’s Power and Impact
Your generosity has grown our Food & Water Volunteer Network to more than 3,800 volunteers across the country fighting for our food, water, and climate. Thanks to folks who
CALIFORNIA Volunteers worked to pass Prop 4, the state’s Climate Bond, which will dedicate $10 billion to water and climate resilience projects. NEW JERSEY Volunteers came together to stop NJ Transit from building a new fracked gas plant near communities that have faced decades of industrial pollution. NEW YORK Volunteers pushed elected officials to pass the Climate Superfund Act, requir- ing oil and gas giants to pay damages for their role in creating the climate crisis. Thanks to all the Food & Water Watch volunteers who made these victories possible!
dedicate their time, talents, and energy to these issues, we’ve been able to protect our shared resources and win real improvements in people’s lives. Members of the Volunteer Network work side-by-side with staff organizers to create strategies and take action. They help plan tactics, host events, table at farmers’ markets, speak with news outlets, and educate their community members. To celebrate this work, Food & Water Watch held our third annual Volunteer Convergence in December 2024 — and it couldn’t have been more timely, as we were all coming to terms with Trump’s election win. The event brought together volunteers from across the country and gave us the opportunity to find strength in each other, the community we’ve built, and the progress we’ve made. No one is in this fight alone. We all have the power to connect with folks who are moved to act, just as we are. Together, we can win the major changes we need to protect our families, communities, and health and to defend our food, water, and climate.
