It Takes All of Us – Your Generosity Empowers All Generations

You ensure activists of all ages can fight like they live here

No matter how long we’ve lived here, we all call this planet home. And no matter what generational camp we belong to, we all benefit from sustainable food, clean water, and a livable climate. In this fight to protect our home, we have more in common than we do differences.

Still, each generation brings unique perspectives and strengths to our movement. Some of us, motivated by the desire to preserve a healthy planet for the young people we love, share our wealth of experience and wisdom. Some of us, motivated by our determination to inherit a world where we can thrive, share our unwavering enthusiasm and dreams of a bright future. While each person’s motivations may look different, it’s precisely this diversity that makes building a better world for all possible.

We all have something valuable to contribute.

The activists featured in It Takes All of Us range from Gen Alpha, the youngest of us, to the (can’t-be) Silent Generation. Because of you, Food & Water Watch is able to act as the bridge that spans these generations making our fight to protect our planet inclusive and that much stronger. Thank you!
