Opportunities to help stop Asian carp
Freshwater Future has teamed up with the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative to develop a resolution that communities can pass in support of permanently stopping Asian carp. Our goal is for 100 communities in the Great Lakes region to pass this resolution. We hope you will help us by adding your community to the list! We are also bringing constituent voices to Members of Congress through our social media action website. By going to our action site, freshwaterfutureaction.org, you can communicate your support for a permanent solution through Facebook and Twitter. Visit our website at http://www.freshwaterfuture.org/resources/asian-carp.html for information about the resolution, the action site and more.
