Tweet to #ProtectCleanWater today!
By Michael Kelly, Communications Director - follow Michael on Twitter ( @MichaelEdKelly ) Tweet With Us to #ProtectCleanWater More than 800,000 people called on the Environmental Protection Agency to protect clean water in 2014. Hundreds of thousands did the same in 2012. And 2010. And in the aughts. And every time you ask people whether we should have strong safeguards for the water we drink, the answer is a resounding "YES". So, what's up with Congress?

Community Letter -- Pass the PFAS Action Act
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.
