TOP 2024 VICTORIES
You spark incredible victories for our food, water, and climate! Together, we’re stopping polluting projects in their tracks, making energy, food, and water more affordable, protecting families from toxic chemicals, and so much more.
Here are just a few wins you made possible this year! We can’t wait to build on them next year with you.
ON THE GROUND
Iowans advocate against factory farm water pollution
In October, dozens of Iowans gathered in Des Moines to discuss solutions to Iowa’s worsening water crisis. The state’s unregulated factory farm waste is polluting Iowa drinking water sources, with terrible consequences for public health.
Speakers advocated for the Clean Water for Iowa Act, which would require water pollution monitoring for more than 4,000 factory farms — a key step to reining in factory farms’ abuses and protecting Iowans’ health. Learn more about the event.
SPOTLIGHT ON
Celebrating 10 Years Since Our Game-Changing Win Against Fracking
In the late 2000s, fracking in New York was a very real and dangerous possibility. But after years of organizing, Food & Water Watch helped ban it in December of 2014.
This proved that a diverse, broad-based, and united movement could stop fracking. The ban not only protected New Yorkers; it informs our organizing against fossil fuels to this day.
Get the full story in our first-ever eBook, “10 Years Later: Lessons from the Fight to Ban Fracking in New York and Beyond.”

(NOT SO) FUN FACT
Scientists estimate we ingest thousands of microplastics each year from tap water. These tiny bits of plastic can contain or carry many toxic substances, from heavy metals to PFAS “forever chemicals.” Bottled water is even worse — it can have six times more microplastics than tap!
Join us in calling on the EPA to monitor for microplastics to keep our water safe!
GET INVOLVED
Tell Biden: Stop LNG projects!
In his last weeks in office, President Biden has an opportunity to take major climate action. Six climate-killing liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects are awaiting permits from the Department of Energy (DOE), but Biden can stop them.
At this moment in the climate crisis, it is paramount that we stop any new fossil fuel infrastructure.
These LNG projects will entrench fracking and fracked gas for decades to come. Tell Biden to reject LNG permits.
Book Talk: How Money & Power Corrupt Our Food System
At our January Livable Future LIVE, we’ll sit down with Austin Frerick, author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry.
This book explores seven food industry titans’ rise to power — and how they took over the industry and our democracy to create the unjust food system we have today.
With Frerick, we’ll discuss how this history informs our work fighting for a fair, equitable food system. Learn more about the event.
