Dear Friend,

The need for clean water doesn’t stop when there’s a pandemic. Throughout these challenging times, Waterkeeper Alliance has stepped up for communities across the globe. 

Waterkeeper Alliance has sued to challenge the EPA’s suspension of pollution monitoring and reporting requirements during the pandemic. Waterkeeper settled another suit, resulting in EPA agreeing to propose new regulations for emerging contaminants to protect our drinking water. And despite the public health crisis, Waterkeeper groups around the world have continued to fight for clean water, cleaning up rivers, monitoring waters to see if they're safe for public use, and running remote educational programs for children.

In order to continue this work, and more, your help is needed more than ever. In addition to advocating for Waterkeeper Alliance, there are multiple ways to support our work, and we want to help you figure out which way works best for you.
