Applying the Golden Rule to ecology, Wendell Berry once said, ?Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.? In this confusing age of extreme polarization, each of us may yet find common ground with one another as we recognize our shared place: downstream. 

At WELC, we work every day to protect the environment, safeguard communities, and build a livable future for the West. As part of our quest to support ecologies of kinship, water holds a very special place in each of our hearts. From advocating for New Mexico?s threatened waterways to keeping dangerous chemicals out of Puget Sound, we champion every stream, river, and estuary in our fighting grounds, knowing their invaluable role in connecting us all.

As a public interest law firm, WELC does not charge clients and partners for services, but relies instead on charitable gifts from individuals, families, and foundations to accomplish our mission ? and we hope you'll join us. 100% of proceeds from WELC gear go to our work to champion western horizons and build an environmentally-just future for all.
