SpeakUP: NC high-speed rail endangered! |
|
Dear Friends,
North Carolina's share of federally approved high-speed rail funding is endangered! Members of the NC General Assembly have attempted to place the brakes on federally funded passenger rail projects in NC by introducing House Bill 422. H422 aims to stall high-speed rail by requiring all federal investments in our state to go through an extensive legislative approval process. NC risks losing over $500 million for high speed rail! WakeUP asks you to speakUP and let the Wake legislative delegation know that high-speed rail is critical not only for our region's mobility, but for future economic investment and job growth across the Triangle!

Dear Friend,
Will you come out to your favorite spot next Saturday and help us spruce up the Neuse?
On April 2nd our volunteers will roll up their sleeves to clean the Neuse River. The Neuse RIVERKEEPER®Foundation with community leaders will celebrate river protection by cleaning up trash and recyclables from the water and banks of the Neuse. Boaters will start at 8:00 a.m. and on-foot cleanup will begin at 10:00 a.m. A limited number of canoes will be supplied at Falls Dam, Milburnie Dam and Smithfield Commons (first come, first served) . Paddlers may also bring their own boats to these locations in order to use provided shuttle service. Please visit our event website to view cleanup locations.Cleanup volunteers paddle in with garbage and recycling Please take a moment to visit our website and click on "register now" to sign up and join in on the fun. Your advance registration will allow us to be prepared with cleanup materials. Once you have made your plans to attend the cleanup, we hope that you will ask yourself the question, "Am I a member of the Neuse RIVERKEEPER® Foundation?" We are only able to hold the Neuse River Cleanup with the support and generosity of our members and sponsors. Please consider becoming a member today, so that we can continue programs like the Neuse River Cleanup to protect the health and vitality of the Neuse River. When you sign up at the $35 level now or the day of the event, you will receive a special edition NRF Nalgene reusable water bottle at the Cleanup. We look forward to seeing you soon! Best regards, NRF Board and Staff |
