It is more focused on padding the pockets of billionaires and improving the bottom-lines of corporate polluters than it is on public health, conservation, or supporting families and communities.

At Clean Water Action we believe that everyone has a right to safe and affordable drinking water. We need to put our drinking water first by ensuring that when our elected and appointed government officials are making decisions they opt for the smart choice that considers the downstream effects and protects our drinking water sources.
