Dear Mary,

I wanted to share with you all a special message from Amy Goldsmith, our New Jersey director, on what is happening there. New Jersey has been an important part of the Clean Water family, often leading the way in making our environment and water safer – and now they need our help after Hurricane Sandy. 

If you can consider a special tax deductible gift to our emergency fund today [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ] to help New Jersey get back on its feet, we would be very grateful.

Thanks for all that you do.

Bob

Just over two weeks ago, Hurricane Sandy pounded the Eastern Seaboard, leaving a wake of destruction in its path. Thousands of people are still without water, heat and power and countless more are stranded without a home or business to go back to – including those who worked in our Belmar office. *You can help* [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ]* us get our Belmar staff back to doing what they do best – fighting for clean water – with a **special tax deductible gift* [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ]* today!*

For over 30 years, Belmar has been the home of the New Jersey Environmental Federation (NJEF), the New Jersey office of Clean Water Fund. Our office was a block from the beach - and we were hit hard by Sandy. The office was underwater during the storm and cannot be salvaged. Our staff in Belmar, like many other New Jerseyans, are trying to get back on their feet, but the impacts of the super-storm and subsequent Nor'easter are far from over. We need you now – join hundreds of Clean Water Action staff and members from across the country by making a special tax deductible gift [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ] today.

*We have hope. *We are extremely grateful that our staff, board and members are safe and that our neighbors are as well. We are also thankful for the numerous volunteers, both in and out of state, working to put New Jersey back together. We will rebuild the Garden State and the Shore and make it a healthy, clean, and wonderful place to live, work and raise our families. 

As we help others rebuild, your help is needed to relocate our State Office to a new space not too far away, in Long Branch. Unfortunately, we are not eligible for flood insurance, and other forms of assistance are limited. 

*Please help us rebuild* [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ].

Our staff and volunteers are eager to get back to protecting our water supplies, environment, communities and public health. For 30 years we've taken action for clean water in New Jersey and we're not going to let a hurricane stop us. In order to start fighting again, we need the basics for a modern office – office supplies, professional quality office furniture, a new phone system, computers, printers, copier and more. But, most importantly, we need you – can you make a special relief gift today? [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ]

On behalf of all of the staff, volunteers and members in New Jersey, thank you in advance for your support [ http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/2155/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12112 ] and your efforts to help us get back on our feet again.
