It has been amazing to experience the swift and empowering progress of the Green Amendment movement. It was only in 2014 when I first envisioned the powerful value of securing constitutional environmental rights that reached the highest plain of legal protection. And less than 10 years later, communities in over 40% of U.S. states have requested our partnership to work towards Green Amendment success.
As powerful as the Green Amendment movement is proving in the hearts and minds of people -- and in courtrooms, hearing rooms and legislatures across our nation -- this is a movement that industry is working hard to silence with their bigger budgets, connected lobbyists, and friends in positions of political power. As a 30+ year environmental leader who has witnessed the rise and demise of many movements, this is the biggest investment of industry opposition I have seen – the opposition is both overt and out in the open in adds and lobbying, but also quietly advancing behind the scenes in backroom meetings and dealmaking.
But we have not let a lack of funding stop us, and while we may not have the level of financing our opposition has, we have the power of a social movement that is truly making a difference for real people, living real lives and who want a world that protects them, that protects the safety of future children, people, and families yet to enter our world, and that protects the wildlife, plant life and living ecosystems with whom we share this world.
It is a joy to witness the support for our Green Amendment movement from those that prioritize environment, nature, kids, community, and true environmental justice protection.
But if we are to keep this moving going and growing and able to rise to the overwhelming requests for our assistance and expertise, we need bigger and broader community support.
Every penny counts. Especially in this fundraiser where every donation from a new donor helps us meet our match challenge where a 1% for the Planet company will donate an extra $250 every time 10 new donors donate.
