📣 Supporting Local and National Campaigns

Last month Halt the Harm worked with leaders to help promote comment collections for two campaigns, one national and one local, to drive in several hundred comments:

West Virginia Rivers collected comments advocating for the Federal Methane Charge (National).
Save Our Susquehanna collected comments in opposition to a permit for Encina’s proposed plastics processing facility in Point Township, Pennsylvania.

Thank you to everyone who took action and shared!
