It's time to hold polluters accountable

 

At CLF, we’re not afraid to go up against big opponents to hold them accountable for the damage they cause in our communities.

Our case against ExxonMobil is one of the only cases in the country proceeding to trial against the fossil fuel giant – and it’s not just Exxon we’re taking to court.

Polluters all over New England have been put on notice by our legal teams, who are hard at work protecting vulnerable neighborhoods from toxic floods, cleaning up our rivers and other waters, shutting down leaky landfills and poisonous incinerators, and getting laws on the books that ensure that polluters won’t so easily get away with harming their neighbors.

We’re unafraid to hold the powerful accountable for the pollution they cause – but the only reason we’re able to go to court at all is because of support from people like you.

We bring lawsuits on behalf of our members, and donations from those same members are what powers our legal teams to have the resources they need to wage long, hard-fought legal battles.

Lawsuits take years of time and investment – but every day, I see the impact of our legal victories in New England.

I see the residents of Burrillville, Rhode Island, with whom we defeated a proposal to build a fracked gas power plant in their backyard. I see a Boston Harbor that is a public asset instead of a public sewer, and many other failed fossil fuel expansion plans across New England that won’t ever see the light of day.

I’m proud of the work we’ve done – but I know that much remains in this fight for our climate and our future.

Your gift will go towards our battles against Exxon, Shell, Gulf Oil, Casella Waste Management, and many more that are harming our health and our future.

Our legal teams are ready to fight – will you support them with a donation today?

I’m awestruck by the dedication of our members to creating systemic change and a lasting impact in New England. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your commitment to this work.

Gratefully,

Brad Campbell
