Iowans advocate against factory farm water pollutionIn 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.

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.
