Learn more about how climate change and environmental contamination are impacting the health and safety of incarcerated individuals and what we’re doing to address them.
Join us in your community, on zoom, or in person as Clean Water Action EJ Ambassadors. Sign up now to stay in touch, get more information, and stay involved in the fight for justice.
