8 Bills to Support for a Healthier, More Just Massachusetts

February 5, 2023 | By Kerry Doyle

It’s the start of a new legislative session in Massachusetts, which means it’s time for the biannual scramble to secure co-sponsors for our priority bills. This year, Clean Water Action is working to line up support for our Healthy Futures for All legislative package to protect residents, particularly children, from exposure to health-threatening toxics and pollution.

"Water is the theme uniting us all no matter what our background. Clean Water helps educate people on steps they can take in their own homes and lives to protect our shared world, and the organization provides many ways to plug into this critical work... I am truly grateful to Clean Water Action for giving me the opportunity to earn a living doing something meaningful and effective and for the community that has blossomed around our shared endeavors. Long may Clean Water prosper!"
