Just like our attorneys and our other policy staff, NRDC's communications and advocacy teams are critical to winning today's major environmental battles. NRDC's newly reinforced litigation team is bringing tougher and more creative cases than ever before, while our Washington and state-based staffs are in the trenches day after day, fighting battles that are often waged minute by minute. Whether it is NRDC energy expert Jim Presswood testifying before a hearing on Capitol Hill, legislative ace Heather Taylor working with politicians on both sides of the aisle, or NRDC's media staff pitching Washington reporters and producers for a story, NRDC is influencing the legislative and regulatory process using every available tactic. To illustrate how skilled these hands are, we offer you a snippet from a weekly communications summary written by our lead Washington communications staffer.
