Supreme Court Rules on WOTUS

The Supreme Court issued its opinion in the case of Sackett v. EPA and ruled in favor of the Sacketts and their corporate polluter allies, delivering a major setback to the essential protections afforded by the Clean Water Act (CWA). This decision significantly narrows the range of waters that the CWA protects, and opens the door for thousands of damaging projects to move forward without any water quality protections. Without these essential legal protections, wetlands, rivers, and lakes across the country – and the communities who depend on them – are now much more vulnerable to industry pollution and destruction.

Tell Your Senator to Reject the Dirty Debt Deal

After the Supreme Court disastrous ruling last week, we cannot afford is to lose any more environmental and public health protections. That is why we are calling on the U.S. Senate to emphatically reject attempts to use the debt ceiling crisis as a opportunistic wedge to gut more of our bedrock environmental laws, rubber stamp dirty fossil fuel, mining, and nuclear infrastructure, and silence the voices of communities who have been fighting to protect their health and neighborhoods from polluting projects for years.
