Clean Water Action

It’s ! 🎊

Our Philadelphia Field Canvass, and the rest of the Philadelphia office was hard at work helping candidate Rep. Chris Rabb win his primary race. 🇺🇸

They spent countless hours knocking on doors and engaging with our members to elect a candidate that will continue to fight for a strong climate agenda. 🌍

Pictured here are a few folks from the Philadelphia office, including the Field Canvass folks that helped get this work done. Thank you, Clean Water Voters!Great work all! 👏

Our National Campaigns Team is thrilled to welcome two fellows this summer joining us from the Yale Environmental Fellows Program and the Yale Conservation Scholars Early Leadership Initiative — Brandi Williams and Jagur Parks.

This week we had the opportunity to visit Climate Action Campaign pop-up Museum of Unnatural Disasters. This exhibit highlights how extreme climate events are affecting us all and brings it down to the personal level through artifacts and survivor stories. Check it out on the National Mall through June 14th!

Protecting our health from toxic chemicals should be a top priority for Congress but new proposals are threatening our safety.

Thankfully, advocates, health professionals, veterans, and community leaders from the Alliance for Health and Safe Chemicals are meeting with Congress to ensure our nation’s main chemical safety law, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is preserved.

TSCA requires the Environmental Protection Agency to review chemicals for safety before they’re widely used in products found in our homes, schools and workplaces.

Strong chemical safeguards protect all of us – and they’re worth speaking up for. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Check out photos from our recent Spring for Water Benefit Bash in Texas! Held at the Gallery at Chez Zee American Bistro in Austin, the event featured special guest speaker, live music, hors d'oeuvres, libations and a live and silent auction.

Many thanks to our special guest speaker Schuyler Wight, a West Texas rancher who has been directly affected by poorly-managed fossil fuel infrastructure, and musical guest, Rob Richardson of The Blues Specialists!

Thank you to everyone who supported this event to benefit Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund campaigns to protect families from toxic chemicals, empower environmental justice communities, support a just transition to clean energy, and improve water and air quality for all residents of Texas.

Today, community members in Pittsburgh are coming together for the Flint/Pittsburgh Day of Action to reflect on the lead crisis that impacted Pittsburgh, recognize the parallels to Flint, and stand with families still living with the consequences.

This event is also about accountability. Private water corporations like Veolia should not be allowed to sweep their record under the rug when communities are harmed by contaminated drinking water.

The event is happening now at Community Forge in Wilkinsburg, PA.

Flowers bring beauty and grace to our lives. 🌸💧

This Water a Flower Day, Julie Wedge reflects on the joy of slowing down, watering our plants, and appreciating the beauty growing around us through every season.

“At Clean Water Fund, we believe water is life. I believe flowers share hope.”

Whether you live in a house with a garden or a 3rd floor studio with “seemingly no light,” flowers can grow anywhere. And sometimes, taking a moment to “stop and smell the roses” is exactly what we need.

New Jersey families shouldn’t have to pay for a climate crisis they didn’t cause.

Scientists warn that our state is on the frontlines of climate disasters, from rising sea levels to more intense flooding and fires. And without action, the cost will fall on us--our homes, our communities, and our wallets.

There’s a better way. The Polluters Pay to Make New Jersey More Affordable Act (S2338/A3735) would make the biggest oil and gas corporations, those most responsible for climate pollution, pay their fair share.

✅ Could generate $2.5 billion per year
✅ Up to $50 billion over 20 years for climate resilience
✅ Holds only the largest polluters accountable, not everyday residents

We’re close, but legislative leadership needs to act NOW. If Senate President Scutari and Assembly Speaker Coughlin post the bill for a vote, it can pass and be signed into law!

⏰ The summer break is approaching fast. We can’t afford delays.

👉 If you live in New Jersey, please take action today: Tell your NJ legislators to push leadership to move this bill forward!

Don’t let NJ Legislators take their Summer Break without Passing Landmark Climate Bill Tell your legislators to pass landmark legislation to make Big Oil corporate polluters pay their fair share for the escalating costs of climate damage — protecting our towns, taxpayers, and future generations. Urge them to vote yes for the “Polluters Pay to Make New Jersey More Affordable Act”...

Check out students of Clean Water Action Massachusetts Youth Action Collaborative! This program gives Malden youth the skills and knowledge to stand up for Environmental Justice in their own community! These Malden Public Schools students spoke before the City Council in support of efforts to protect their community from toxic pollution and bring climate education to schools. 💪🌍

Coal-fired power plants are one of the largest sources of toxic water pollution in America’s rivers, lakes, and streams.

Now EPA wants to weaken wastewater treatment requirements and allow more toxic pollutants like arsenic, mercury, and lead into our waterways.

Even tiny amounts of these pollutants can threaten drinking water, harm aquatic life, and impact communities already overburdened by pollution.

Tell EPA:
💧 Protect our waterways from toxic coal plant pollution
💧 Stop giveaways to polluters
💧 Protect our drinking water and communities
