John,

At Food & Water Action we are working to create a healthy future for all. A world where everyone has food they can trust, clean drinking water, and a livable climate.

Here's some of the progress you are helping make happen, plus more:

A New Community Choice Energy Program in New Jersey

Food & Water Action organizers and local partners won another big victory! By an overwhelming 63 to 37 margin, Piscataway residents voted in favor of a special ballot question to create a township-wide 100 percent renewable energy aggregation program.

Virginia Election Is a Win for the Environment

This month’s elections brought a leadership change in both the House of Delegates and State Senate in Virginia. As a result, advocates are hopeful the new General Assembly will move to transition off of the state’s dirty fossil fuel dependence, jumpstart Virginia’s renewable energy program, and protect air and water by reining in monopolistic utility giants.

Read our statement about what these means for clean energy, air, and water future in Virginia.

Big Wins for California’s Environment

California Governor Newsom made some directives this week that are a step in the right direction for our climate — but much more is needed.

Amongst his directives, he's called for the expedited permanent closure of the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility in SoCal, a moratorium on high-pressure cyclic steam, and an independent third party review of fracking permits.

Newsom has been feeling the pressure from our various efforts this year — from petitions and calls, to directly challenging him at events that he's attended across the country. There's no doubt that this is a direct result of years of organizing efforts from activists and community leaders.

But the urgency of our climate crisis requires much more and we're prepared to keep pushing Newsom in the right direction! Read more about the latest progress made in California.

Also, earlier this month, Ventura County Supervisors voted for a one-year extension on a moratorium on new cyclic-steam oil drilling near potable water, while groundwater contamination is investigated.

Finally, the Los Angeles City Council has voted to approve the Eland Project, which will create the largest and most affordable solar-battery plant in the country, and was approved earlier this year by L.A.’s public utility.

The project will add 400 megawatts of solar energy to the L.A. grid along with 300 megawatts of battery storage to provide the City of L.A. with solar energy even while the sun is not shining.

Supporters say the project is a model for a just and fair transition off fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy.

Learn more about the Eland Project, which will bring record cheap solar energy and good union jobs to L.A.

Fracking Halted in the United Kingdom
Earlier this month, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a halt on fracking citing a report from the Oil & Gas Authority regarding earthquakes caused by fracking.1,2

Johnson and his Conservative Party had been vocal supporters of drilling and fracking in the U.K. But activist movements have blocked drilling sites and pressured lawmakers to ban fracking across the country.
