We applaud @GovEvers for his budget proposing over $300 million to ensure safe, clean drinking water for more Wisconsin families, especially our children.
Contact your state senator and representative to urge them to support clean, safe water for everyone.

The #SafeDrinkingWaterAct turns 50 this year! 🚰
We've made progress, but families still need stronger protections from lead & #PFAS in our water.
Hear stories & add yours to the #SDWA50 map to call for #SafeAffordableWater for all. 🗺️

Water is a human right and every family deserves to have access to safe water they can afford. We applaud the work of the WECR, @RepRashida and @RepDebDingell for introducing the act and @RepGwenMoore for her cosponsorship.

The U.S. is in a water affordability crisis. 1 in 3 say they struggle to pay their water bill on time, risking access to #SafeAffordableWater. Congress must pass the H2O UP Act of 2024. Thank you @RepRashida and @RepDebDingell for leading the way! climatewaterequity.org/state…

We condemn the utter absence of de-escalation tactics and outrageous killing of Samuel Sharpe Jr. by five out-of-state police officers on Tuesday. We extend our most heartfelt sympathy to his sister, Angelique, whose leadership and advocacy for equity touches countless people.

So proud of #WECRCaucus leader, Maritza Alvarez of Sacred Places Institute for Indigenous Peoples and #USWaterPrize Outstanding Artist winner. Maritza's creative efforts to highlight indigenous perspectives and solutions for CA's sacred waters are an inspiration. #WaterEquity

Day 2 is off to a great start with a quote from Dr. Karletta Chief.
"For Indigenous people, water is life, water is a relative, water is sacred, water is our identity..and we go back the water...and for that reason, we don't see water as a commodity."
