Dispatch from the fight against toxics! Our CT State Director, Christine Bartlett-Josie, is at the Safer States conference this week alongside other Clean Water Action state leaders. We're networking with activists across the country to share resources for passing state policies that protect our water and our bodies from toxic chemicals. With a hostile federal administration, state protections are more important than ever!

TAKE ACTION! 💧Wetlands and streams are essential to clean drinking water. Tens of millions of people rely on streams that don’t flow year-round, while wetlands naturally filter pollution. These waters deserve strong protection, not weaker Clean Water Act rules. 📢 Tell the EPA to protect our water. Submit a comment by Oct. 9: www.cleanwater.org/epa-action-rollbacks

Minnesota families and activists demanded change in the face of tragedy. And the law they fought for protecting them from toxic PFAS is now working. This is why we do what we do.
