Just checking in
— we didn’t see your signature on our petition to the U.S.
Congress supporting strong, equitable water security policies.

Changes in rainfall, natural disasters, and rising sea levels are
dramatically impacting the amount of clean water that families around the
world can rely on. Solutions to the water crisis must address climate
change — and we need our leaders to step up and take action.

sound and strong global water action agenda.

Dear friend,

Solutions to the global water crisis are within reach — but only if we
have the will to act.

Last month, world leaders gathered at the United Nations to form a water
action agenda that included more than 700 commitments. Now, we must ensure
our leaders take the next step.

[ [link removed] ]Will you take a moment to sign our petition calling on U.S. Congress to
support policies that promote equitable and resilient water systems?

[ [link removed] ]Before Mercy Corps installed a water system in Noella’s village in
  Democratic Republic of Congo, she had to make a dangerous trek to  
gather water that was not dependably clean. She says she is no longer
afraid to fetch water, even at night.
 


Right now, almost 2 billion people in the world do not have access to
clean drinking water. Climate change and conflict are driving factors in
water scarcity, which means any approach to solving the world’s water
crisis must also address these issues.

Water security is one of Mercy Corps’ four key areas of work. In dozens of
countries, we partner with communities to build strong, climate-smart
water systems. And through it all, we center the needs of the most
vulnerable people, and ensure they have the opportunities to meaningfully
participate in local water governance.

That is why our petition calls on national leaders to support policies
that prioritize conflict-sensitive and climate-smart approaches to water
security and improved water governance.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name to Mercy Corps’ petition today to help move us closer to
ensuring everyone, everywhere has equitable access to clean water.

Thank you,

intersections like gender, disability, and socioeconomic status.
