Clean Water Action

Los logros de 2020 preparan el escenario para un progreso continuo en la protección de nuestra agua y nuestra salud A pesar de las circunstancias muy desafiantes del año pasado — una administración hostil antiambiente y el devastador costo de salud de la pandemia del coronavirus, así como las interrupciones sociales y económicas — el año 2020 demostró ser sorprendentemente productivo, en cada una de las áreas prioritarias del programa de Clean Water Action:

2020 accomplishments set the stage for continued progress protecting our water and our health. Despite the past year’s very challenging circumstances — a hostile anti-environment administration and the coronavirus pandemic’s devastating health toll, social and economic disruptions — 2020 proved to be surprisingly productive, in each of Clean Water Action’s priority program areas.

The science is clear: PFAS have been linked to serious health problems through decades of animal, worker, and human studies. Unfortunately, EPA has failed to take steps to restrict air and water releases, reduce PFAS in our tap water, or clean up the nation's most contaminated sites. H.R. 2467 will set clear deadlines requiring EPA to do just that.

Over the last decade of research and advocacy, Clean Water Action and Clean Water Fund has found that activities essential to oil and gas operations cannot be conducted without regulatory and legislative loopholes that put water at risk.

A lo largo de 2019, nuestros programas defendieron las protecciones esenciales del medio ambiente y de salud, al tiempo que fortalecieron la base de personas que se preocupan por nuestra agua y quieren verla protegida — ahora y para las futuras generaciones. Continuamos sentando las bases para revertir lo peor de los recortes y reversiones extremos propuestos por los contaminadores y sus aliados en el gobierno. Juntos, podemos restaurar el compromiso histórico de nuestra nación con el agua apta para pescar, nadar y beber.

Throughout 2019, our programs defended essential environmental and health protections, while strengthening the grassroots base of people who care about our water and want to see it protected — now and for future generations. We continue to lay the groundwork to reverse the worst of the extreme cuts and rollbacks advanced by polluters and their allies in government. Together, we can restore our nation’s historic commitment to fishable, swimmable, drinkable water.
