We're Hungry for Parks
Congress should fully fund for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) by passing the Great Americans Outdoor Act. As we all have experienced, access to parks is incredibly important for our mental and physical health, and remain a low risk activity even while we are social distancing. Unfortunately, for years Congress has diverted money out of the Land and Water Conservation Fund, leaving us with critically underfunded parks when we need them most.

Take action today: Tell Congress to Authorize LWCF and Protect Our Water For more than five decades, LWCF has
Fighting Big Oil in Texas
How would you react if oil drillers wanted to spread their toxic waste on an open field next to your drinking water supply? You would surely be as outraged as the people of Chireno and Nacogdoches were last summer when they reached out to Clean Water Action for help. Thanks to the support of Clean Water Action members, we were able to stop Common Disposal's request to spread oil sludge from drilling operations next to a tributary of Lake Sam Rayburn – a major drinking water supply for East Texas. Please join Clean Water Action today with a gift of any amount to help us win more fights like
