Now that we’ve indulged in some turkey, shopping, and much-deserved time watching parades and sports, we can’t forget all the things we’re thankful for. CCJ is thankful to our members and supporters who allow us to do the work we do. On this Giving Tuesday, we ask that you consider making a donation to CCJ to ensure that we are able to continue working for you and for our communities through the end of this year and for years to come.
Your contribution will support our efforts to protect people and the environment from coal mining, shale gas development, and other extractive activities. It will help our efforts to build more powerful rural communities defending their rights to clean water, clean air, and thriving economies.
