Why Your Donation Matters

Protecting Our Rivers

We do the work most people can’t: monitoring pollution, reviewing permits, documenting violations, and defending Louisiana’s Scenic Rivers from rollbacks and misinformation. Your support funds hours of research and investigative work—like our Smitty’s LDEQ files—turning complex government records into tools communities can use to defend their rivers.

Responding to Environmental Emergencies

When disasters strike—sewerage spills spills, chemical releases, flood events—we mobilize with sampling, documentation, public education, and pressure on agencies for transparency. We do the work so residents can focus on taking action to protect their families and communities.

Science, Data, & Accountability

Your support funds mapping, fieldwork, and public records access. We do the research and analysis so communities have data-based insights to make informed decisions and hold polluters accountable. while protecting future community resiliency

Community Advocacy
