Black History Month marks its 100th anniversary—a century of honoring Black legacy, leadership, and excellence. Throughout February, Clean Water Action will proudly spotlight our Black Water Champions: leaders who are advancing the vital work of protecting our water, our health, and our communities.

The public comment period on the so-called “Polluted Water Rule” closed on January 5, 2026. Almost immediately, the Trump administration moved on to its next attack on the Clean Water Act, this time targeting Section 401, one of the most important tools states and Tribes have to protect their waters.

April is Earth Month. It all started back in 1970, when the first Earth Day mobilized millions of people nationwide to stop pollution and bring cleaner air and water. We’ve made huge progress since then. Clean Water Action – and members like you – have helped make things a whole lot better for our water and our health. Now, that progress is threatened.
