Two champions, indeed! March is women's celebration month, too.
💧On World Water Day, we’re highlighting the women leading the fight to protect clean, safe water in Connecticut. From Margaret Miner, who helped advance landmark protections through her leadership at Rivers Alliance of Connecticut, to Alicea Charamut, a scientist‑turned‑advocate now steering the organization and advising on statewide water policy, women are at the forefront of defending our rivers, wetlands, and drinking‑water sources. At Rivers Alliance Connecticut, that work includes pushing for strong streamflow standards, fighting pollution and toxic contaminants like PFAS, and supporting local groups working to protect waters in their own communities. Water is never just an environmental issue, worldwide; it’s a gender, class, and race issue, and women leaders are working to ensure that where water flows, equity grows.
