2020 has been a long year -- but we got through it thanks to our supporters
Normally my Thanksgiving message is pretty easy -- I talk about the things that Clean Water has to be thankful for and then profusely thank our members for the support throughout the year. And we do have plenty to be thankful for and I will thank you, but I also want to acknowledge that 2020 has been a long, tough year. Many of us have lost loved ones to COVID-19. Many have lost jobs or shuttered our businesses. All of us have had to deal with a new reality and come to grips with a new normal.

A Foray Into Energy Democracy In Massachusetts
Worcester, MA is a gritty little outpost in Central Massachusetts, with the quaint feel of bygone glory days. In cosmopolitan Boston, with its internationally renowned academic, financial and healthcare institutions, this caricature of our neighbor only an hour away- the second largest city in New England- is a common perception.
