The next term of Baltimore city government will be critical for environmental justice in Baltimore. The next four years will be pivotal for the infrastructure investments we need for cleaner water, cleaner air, and healthier communities in the city. Clean Water Action is excited to endorse these four candidates who have shown strong support for climate action, environmental justice, and public health in Baltimore.

The urgency and positive energy created around the original Earth Day (April 22, 1970) helped launch a movement and built momentum that led to the creation of Clean Water Action and passage of the 1972 Clean Water Act and 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act.

On May 7th, Clean Water Action California hosted our first Environmental Champions award dinner. We had the pleasure of honoring former chair of the State Water Resources Control Board, Felicia Marcus, Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia, and Senator Bill Monning.

The evenings remarks cohered around the important work Clean Water Action is able to undertake in partnership with environmental champions in government. Andria Ventura, Clean Water Action’s Toxics Program Manager, and Jennifer Clary, our Water Program Manager, introduced the evening’s honorees.
