#NeverForget #911










Rescue and recovery worker Donald Anderson of New York City’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) reported to #GroundZero on Sept. 12, 2001. He worked at the site for seven days, operating in 12-hour shifts maintaining a Mobile Field Office Emergency Unit. In addition to keeping generators running and re-charging radios, computers and cell phones, he documented the scene with his camera. His photographs capture not only the incomprehensible destruction, but the cooperation and compassion of rescue and recovery workers. _____ Anderson hoped that the photographs might one day communicate to 9/11 family members the dedication and care that characterized the rescue and recovery efforts. He also wanted to make sure that children too young to understand what had occurred, including his own, as well as those not yet born, would understand what had happened that day. He later shared his archive with the #911Museum. For more photos, click the link in our bio. _____ 📷: 9/11 Memorial Museum Collection, Donald Anderson

Dear Reader,

It's unconscionable. After 4 decades of American support for keeping the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge protected from oil drilling, Congress has gone behind our backs to open the Arctic Refuge to drilling by voting for their wildly unpopular and secretive tax bill.

The bill contains a sneaky provision to allow oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of the wildest places left on earth, a haven for polar bears, caribou, musk oxen and thousands of migratory bird species.

America's irreplaceable wildlands have experienced a number of attacks in 2017, from Trump decimating Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments to Congress just now voting to open drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

We will not stand for this.

There are two things you can do RIGHT NOW to protect our wilderness and fight back against this harmful tax bill:

  1. Sign the pledge to keep fighting for the Arctic Refuge.
  2. Make a tax-deductible donation that will be matched by a generous donor THREE TIMES, up to $1,000,000.

The Wilderness Society will fight at every turn to protect the Arctic Refuge- in the courts, in Congress, and in corporate board rooms. But we need your help. Every dollar you contribute TODAY will go directly to our battle to save our wild places.

Your tax-deductible donation will fund the most important fight of our more-than 80-year existence. Every dollar helps protect our last remaining public lands from the Trump administration, anti-conservationists in Congress and their Big Oil cronies.

Please make a tax-deductible donation to The Wilderness Society right now. All donations today will be MATCHED 3X by a longtime friend of The Wilderness Society, who like you, won't give up in the fight for the preservation of the Arctic. There's no more important time than now.

Donate

Sincerely,

Jamie

Jamie Williams

President, The Wilderness Society

Police look for 2 who vandalized Newport Cliff Walk


NEWPORT, R.I. —  Police are looking for two people who vandalized Newport's famous Cliff Walk with spray paint.

Newport Police posted a message on Facebook saying that two women had used spray paint on the walk on Saturday afternoon.

They posted photos of the two walking under the Cliff Walk, with one of them holding what appears to be a can of paint.



Police are asking anyone who can identify the suspects to get in touch.

The 3 ½-mile walk is designated as a national recreation trail and is one of Rhode Island's most popular tourist attractions. It runs between the Atlantic Ocean and many of Newport's most spectacular mansions, and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
